Thread: Won’t be retro...

I thought the only active swaybar on a full size Land Rover was on Discovery 2 as an option (ie ACE ..very good system but expensive and they handled well without and very few people signed on) and D2 of course was body (semi mono) on chassis rails. I understood that all D3 and 4 with air suspension had no hydraulic (active) sway bar?

Cheers

Not sure about those, but it looks like the newer LR's have active front/rear but not defender rear by the looks, or maybe option?

But the bloody factory ARB isn't!!

I'm playing thread catch up Steve, a few other distractions elsewhere, or maybe I'm just a bit slow these days

A full active or a Kinetic style ARB system is the ultimate anti roll set up.
Land Cruisers and Prados are using a Kinetic (reactive hydraulic) setup these days, it simplifies things big time over the ACE setup (No electronics, pumps or accelerometers needed) and I feel can be more effective in a wider variety of situations.
Proven in the WRC by Citroen and Mitsubishi in Rallye-Raid until banned by the FIA.

This is the newer LR setup

Looks very similar to the toyota setup imo
