dioliahary Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Been searching and started thinking about fitting a arb to my land rover ht 90 to seek further stability on the motorway. It hasn't got any of the brackets to accommodate an arb, either axle or chassis but I can purchase these from extreme 4x4. The rear would need some fabrication work as the Dixon Bate angled tie rod and the exhaust would be in the path of the arb. Just a thought But could i fit the front only, would this be legal/safe and beneficial ta h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanuki Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Increased roll-stiffness on the front promotes understeer. I.E. "Straight-on-into-shrubbery" on the twisty-bits. Rather than messing about with ARBs, how old are your dampers? And are they any good? The biggest improvement I made to my 90TD5 for fast towing was to throw out the original 50,000-mile-old dampers and replace them with a set of gas-pressurised Bilsteins. Not cheap, but worth every penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 What are the Bilsteins like off road ? I somehow seem to have got the impression that they are a road biased thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dioliahary Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I changed the dampers last year, just got a bit itchy on the net searching land rover steering improvements and came across the arb posts. Will steer away, pardon the pun, from the whole arb set up i think, ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
