I took them off on both the wife's TD5 90 and my Puma, much better ride on road and better suspension travel off road. Replaced the standard shocks with after market and both vehicles ride and handle very well.

Allan,

What suspension set up are you running as I have been thinking of removing ARB's on my 90 but do not want to reduce the onroad handling.

Cheers,

Martin

On the 110 I run OME shocks on the front with 130 springs, I have an ARB bar and winch . I stuck with the OME shocks to not over extend the standard front prop shaft. The rear are standard 110 springs, relocation cones and terra firma +2inch shocks. I got rid of both front and rear bars.The ride is almost D3 and the articulation is much better than standard, it seems to work well. The road holding feels as good as standard. On the TD5 90 I have relocation cones 2 inch lift Terra Firma+2 shocks ect. It drives like a sports car.

Everybody on here seams to be taking their anti roll bars off ??? are you all mad ??? I know it does foul up the more extream end of off roading, but i have fitted a massive thick one the biggest Scorpion did at the time, and many are surprsed down country roads when a 90 turns up in their mirrors the road holding is superb now, also towing (which i do a lot of) is excellent no inter lane wobble on the motorway. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

I wonder what the insurance company will say if someone rolls their defender after removing the anit roll bars. I wouldn't want to take the chance of them wriggling out of paying up. 130 crew cab

The old 300TDI didn't have them standard here and I may be wrong but I think the only TD5,s to have them was the Xtreame.
