I had read that the anti-roll bar on the front suspension was responsible for managing body roll, and that an easy way to fix the - what some passengers called "horrendous" - body roll was a thicker, stiffer anti-roll bar.

It's an easy replacement to make. Probably, it's possible to do it without removing the wheels, but I did as it was easy to do and made my life much easier.

The old one came off relatively swiftly: the passenger-side simply undoing and coming away. The driver-side, however, took much more persuasion and eventually I just cut the old one off as the bolt was so rusted to the bottom of the suspension arm.

Old anti roll bar

Installing the new one is a matter of routing the bar in the same location as the old. It bolts to the suspension on each side and then a polyurethane (or rubber, if you're feeling cheap) bushing is clamped on to the underside of the frame. Since the frame bracket bolts were greased, and slightly shorter than I would have liked, it took some work getting them in and tight, but it was achieved at the end.

New anti roll bar

I think the body roll has been reduced, but it's hard to really tell: it's never something I really noticed before! I do, however, feel safer - given the rust that the old one had - that it won't just snap if I go too hard around a sharp corner.

Good, easy project for a weekend.
