It would seem then that the only reliable way to tell is to look underneath Laughing 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

With my 85 V8 90 and fairly soft springing which is similar to my old 2 door RR, the old girl does tend to wallow into corners, so I am thinking of fitting a front ARB as none is currently fitted. I'm looking for an OEM package, so which would be best?

Not being generally keen on Britpart stuff are there any recommendations for a front ARB kit?

I brought a second hand set from KD Landrovers, including all nuts bolts, new genuine bushes and good secondhand brackets. They advertised on Ebay the bare bar, but put a kit together for me. WWW.KD-LR.COM or 01663308010. No connection just great service Thumbs Up

My 04 90 doesn't have them... Im not sure I would want to be going fast enough to need em Rolling with laughter Although I do watch ebay for a cheap set to try them out.

I didn't realise for a long time, until an instructor took us to a particular section to get some pics with a wheel off the ground, the other defenders cocked a wheel and mine didn't Shocked naturally their pictures looked much better!

My 110 has rear, but no fronts (but does have the mounts) and I have been tempted to fit front ones as I spend most time on tarmac (to from work and occasional race circuits with some forest work as well) 1999 Defender TD5 110

I fitted front and rear standard ARBs and it totally transformed the ride. The majority of my driving is road and the commute went from being a nervous twitchy drive round some nasty bends with odd cambers to a far more planted and confident experience.

If you are spending more time off-road or happy to plod about very carefully on challenging tarmac then don't bother but anything else would be a yes in my opinion... Phil
