ANTI-ROLBAR

Post by samuria »

what do you guys think???? is it worth fitting a anti-rolbar to my van? when cornering quite fast there seems a lot of body roll. i have changed the oil in the front dampers to 40w. this did help.
your thoughts please :wink:

My view is - the Minor already understeers like a super tanker - adding an arb at the front makes it worse! To reduce understeer - put a little negative camber on the front suspension. If you really want arbs - fit to BOTH front and rear to retain the balance.

Front anti-roll bar and gas shocks certainly work well together on my 1275 Minor.

Arb front AND rear makes some sense - especially with some negative camber at the front and 7 leaf springs on the rear. If the car is giving shocks - hold tightly to the door frame as you get out - and then let go....... :wink:

Don't know if anyone sells a ready made kit - but not too difficult to adapt something I suppose.
