Thread: Anti roll bar bracket broken - Why?

Is that OE for the 90 or an aftermarket setup?
Is a long range tank fitted?

The 110 and 130 used a forged drop link (which could invert in extreme articulation)

Its OE came standard and there is no long range tank fitted

Shouldn't the links be pointing down? With them up like the pic shows, any suspension travel will cause the roll bar to be forced back and out putting huge stress on the roll bar bracket - which is what looks like has happened. With them pointing down, the articulation of the drop links and bar will work normally.

Chance are your airbag installer managed to do this somehow - I'd be going to have a chat to them.

Yes this is quite likely, I was to lazy to drive 30km so I had the air bags installed locally.

Homestar - Would you have it re- installed properly or can I just remove it ?

It looks to me like you have just dragged the bracket on something like a rock and its torn the bracket away at about a 45* angle.

you can remove the anti sway completely if you want to, you will notice it

Ramblingboy - Thanks mate! notice it in a good or bad way, considering I now have air bags fitted inside the rear coils ?

you will notice more body roll.

the airbags may alleviate a lot of that though

edit....it may oversteer more on a dirt rd.

try it , it doesnt take long to remove and you're going to have to get under it regardless.
