Should my Griff Have a Rear Anti-Roll Bar?

[PeteGriff]

Hi all, may be a silly question! Whilst my Griff is up on axle stands for various jobs (see other threads) I have just realised that there is no rear anti-roll bar? It is a September 92 4.3, I know there were many ongoing changes in the production run of the Griff, so not sure. What prompted this was seeing some really nice drop link ARB bushes on Steve Heath's website, and seeing that they are available for the 4.x Griffs. Pete

It is unlikely that a 92 griff would have left the factory with a rear ARB....

Some owners retrofitted them..... But I'd suggest that if it's gone the best part of 20 years without... Why add the extra weight

Yes you are right, I have found no problems for my sort of driving I do, she has new shocks and springs and is nice and tight. I did not consider fitting one, just wondered, thanks LB. Pete

I retrofitted one to my 92, 4.3 BV..... I ended up taking I off.

Hi
Mines a 93 4.3 non precat , it has the droplinks on and looks like the oringnals.is this because 93 was the start of the chimaera production and were they standard on them, I think.could be wrong tho ?

interesting topic and always devisive. i think it really depends what you want to use the car for and how you drive it - on the road i dont think it matters. many racers remove them and rely on stiffer springs to prevent the roll. i have tried both my griff and previous cerb with and without and on both cars i found it to be less predictable without an arb and therefore harder to drive on a beyond the limit- but that is personal prefrence and i dont think either is right or wrong
