Mack Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I guys I found the rear anti roll bar totally wrong fitted: ARB pushing the bushes (on the chassis) backwards and the small arms upside down on the rear axle. I fixed it, but after doing some offroad, the whole thing came again to this weird position. Any clues? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 the 2 link arms should hang down from the axle, sounds like yours is flipping over as you drive& the axle is moving around following the ground, normally happens if the parent vehicle has a suspension lift of more than 2 inches. my rear anti-roll bar [photo taken from rear looking forward] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 A possible solution to this problem is to fit 30mm spacers between the bar and chassis on both sides. Apparently this modification can prevent the bar "inverting" John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks guys! I did fit +1.5" OME springs. I think the spacers are the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have longer OME springs & haven't had the ARB swap over on me, even after being very crossaxled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It did happen to me with OME springs. Rather than fit spacers I removed the ARB and up-rated the springs to 500kg, partly because I am planning an expedition or two.. Now have little body roll and the ride is pretty good too.

Strange, Microcat shows the same parts for Puma´s and previous Defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
