Hi everyone

I have a 1998 300Tdi 110 2 door hard to and the rear axel has no anti roll bar fitted.

it has the brackets on the chassis and I'm wondering if i would benefit buy fitting one?

Cheers landy-lee
 
May improve road manners but reduce axle articulation - your choice depending on vehicle use. My 96 is the same and I don't feel any need for them

My 89 Ninety doesnt have one, and as far as I know,never did.

It may be helpful to fit one if you carry heavy loads a lot, or do a lot of fast road work.

My 85 90 has one fitted, it was on the original chassis and now on the new one.
It tightens up the left to right roll nicely.
 
Fitted them to my TD5 110 SW also our 90 SW and made tbem much better on road, where reduced articulation does not matter.
I'd say if you are using it mainly on road, then it's worth fitting ARB's.
But if you do off road (proper off road not just bridleways) then maybe not.
 
I was yakking to my mot tester years ago and I said I might remove the arb. He told me he should fail it if I did.
 
Some more experienced geezer stated that "90% better handling and 10% less performance". Dont know how accurate the statement is.
Installed the stock arb one on my ´04 110 a while ago.
Marked difference in handling : tracks better, less roll, more predictable when cornering, calmer in general. Like a neutered dog.

The reason for me is installing ARB is that I dont do any hard core rock crawling where I would constantly need maximum articulation.
But, I do long trips (500-1000km/day) with a loaded van and sometimes have the roofrack + 2 canoes on. Driving a car that is like a drunken sailor wears one thin fast...
Especially as in my use I have not noted any difference in off road performance either so Win-Win for me.

And, if I would decide to take car for some hard core wheeling, I can always take it of under 10 minutes..
 
If it was an optional fitment, how would he know it was originally fitted if it wasn't there?
Pass. And tbh can't remember if I was presenting a rrc or def110 at the time. I always thought they were std equipment on def110

I agree, and by the same logic, as almost all my landrover mileage is hardcore offroading, and I only do brief trips to the shops and fuel station on road, the bars would be of little use to me.

Defender 110 they probably are standard. Ninety hard top, I don't think they were.

Not standard on the 110 If the 110 was fitted with heavy duty springs ARB would be an extra customer specified.
