Rear anti roll bar

Has anyone fitted a rear anti roll bar and if so what bar did you use.

They were fitted to Krankenwagons(Ambulances)and i'm sure Simon Baxter said something about replicating the mounting rackets?

One of them would do but i think it would be hard to find second hand and silly money for a new one if its still available. There must be something out there which is a nice fit.

It is a tempered (sprung) bar that joins the 2 suspension sides together so that when u corner the bar acts upon the other side forcing the wheel into contact with the road harder than just being left to do its work under gravity. Used more for harder cornering vehicles (like Ambulances, sports cars..) and probably not useful to most campers but would be useful in a syncro or faster road van.
Well thats what i thought they were..

Watch out for a tail sliding "turbonutterpanelvan" then...

Andy, see if you can get the heavy duty front.. or do you have one already?

I reckon a type 2 front one would be fairly easy to fit..

Looked at fitting my syncro bar but it was no going to fit easily.

I meant get he heavy duty front... for the front... you wont want a stiff front one on the back.. or it deffo will be going every where sideways....

The front bar can be used in the rear. Just use to angle iron brackets to hold the ends onto the bottom of shock mounts. Then fab a centermount.

Sorry no PICS since my laptop got stolen. Here in the US, you can purchase a ready made rear bar and bigger diameter front bar from an outfit called ADDCO.

Well, that was back in the olden days when the "user friendliest" webpage thingy was AOL. Later I found out there was a way to knockout the banner ad via methods which AOL never intended. I'll change one of these days.
