Thread: LARGER REAR SWAY BARS ON 110

Sway bars on an offroad vehicle are always a compromise between on road and offroad performance - many coil spring utility Landrovers have none.

Larger sway bars can be fitted, although I do not know what the availability of them off the shelf is.

The drawback will be loss of effective articulation; whether this matters depends on what you are using it for.

Before making any decisions, make sure that the problem is not tyre pressure.

Geez funny you mention tyre pressure because it seems to be the root of all my problems. Guess I will check it out and see if a bit more will improve anything.

Cheers

JD certainly has it with tyres, but if you want better stability again, I have an X-engineering x-deflex rear bar set up. Works well until I forget to disengage it in the rough and bend the side arm, or break it off on a rock.

Sway bars are not expensive to have made - alzheimers is preventing me from remembering who made my 27mm front bar - and with diff locks you don't miss the wheel travel.

Well I couldnt wait and went out and put a bit more pressure into the tyres and seems to have fixed the problem. But I will know for sure tomorrow when I go out for more of a drive. I'll check out thos x reflex bars now.

I would of thought the sway bar would have been made to work at the vehicles GVM all the time...

Land Rover I dont think generally under engineer things...well apart from their engine sizes according to some

Every modern vehicle that I've ever looked closely at has had two sets of tyre pressures listed; normal pressure and a highspeed/heavy-load pressure a few PSI higher.

That solution makes sense to me
