Sway bars

Had a look under disco DT5 with 2" lift and there is no sing of any sway bars front or back , is this because of lift and don't work or they are not needed, if they are required where is best place to buy some

Did it have ACE?

All D2’s should have them from the factory, they don’t handle very well at all without them. The sway bars are not affected by a 2” lift.

I’m not sure where to get them in Tas, but just note that there are 3 different sway bar setups if you do get them
With ACE
Non ACE with SLS
Non ACE with coils.

What is ACE and SLS

ACE is " Active Cornering Enhancement" You have very thick sway bars with a hydraulic ram on each. If you look under the wheel arch on the drivers side at the front and see a hydraulic ram then you have ACE.

SLS is "Self Levelling Suspension" Air springs in the back and not coils.

The swaybars you will want then are the 30mm dia front non-ACE swaybar and the 19mm dia rear NonACE/NonSLS sway bar.

i take it the sway bar fits onto chassis in front of the Diff, the thing we cant figure out is where the links connect to on axle

On the front: immediately forward of the spring, directly above the front radius arm bush.
On the rear: forward of the axle, inwards(towards the diff pumpkin) next to the rear trailing arm bush(on the axle) you see a bracket beside the trailing arm bush.
