rear anti roll bar bolts are gone
The rear anti roll bar or torsion bar failed on me while driving a 700km journey. When I got to the end, the bar was hanging loose. All the bolts were gone.....

I dont think they sheered off, I think they some how got loose and vibrated completely off.

have a look also to the bolts from the rear disc shields. They also get loose and cause the plate to crack and bang Puma 110" SW

I lost mine with the help of my tool kit. Far better vehicle to drive.

Why did you take them off? Mind you I dont think older defenders have that anti roll bar? I could be wrong?

I wanted more travel, fitted relocation cones and after market shocks. It also rides a little softer without them.
