Extreme why not remove the arb's all together, you'll notice a difference mate.

Mine went in yesterday - just needed a drop link £97.10 all in drop link fitted and test, that'll do me.

hi i dont understand , can i just take them off then.? do i need to replace them with something?

 

[nejones]

Yep just take them off.
Nothing to replace them with.
You'll notice better articulation off road with a small increase in body roll on the road.
I did it front and rear on my lwb and it improved the ride comfort too.

My mot tester commented on them being removed but didn't fail the car on it.

 

[extreme-4x4]

cool thanks guys took them off earlier (the back) and went out shoppin in the shitelander as i wasnt sure if it was safe without them so waited for you good news reply rather than risk breaking something

cool another free repair:thumbs:bow

Make sure you remove every last vestage of the anti roll bars or otherwise come next MOT time you may get a fail. Its a bit of a grey area, testers can't know every vehcile type so as long as they have no reason to believe that an anti roll bar was fitted it shouldn't fail.

Not done it to my new one yet but had front and back off my old one and it makes a lot of difference, even with spring and body lift the extra roll was livable with bur as has been said the ride quality was better and the grip from better articulation on and off road was much improved.
