HC stabilisers/anti-roll bar.

Postby Tigran » Wed Jun 07, 2006 2:12 pm

I have seen 'stabiliser' bars for an HC viva up for sale - what the hell do these do? I have an ARB laying about from my last car so cannot see how they fit or what they could do. For a start it's not one single bar but two of em with rubber fitments on them.

A confused Tig.

Are these the short link rods that join the ARB to the wishbone?

Or perhaps a pair of small wheels on angle brackets that you can bolt to the rear doors while you're getting used to how it handles... :wink:

These will be the long bolts fastening the ends of the ARB to the lower arms. They should have 4 rubbers each and some cup shaped washers. They are shown in the Haynes manual for a magnum.
