Rear Anti-Roll Bar - Facelift CDTi

Badgertone · 10th August 2010, 15:41

Can anyone clarify whether or not a facelift ('54' model) CDTi saloon would have a rear anti-roll bar or not?
(I have read somewhere that 1.8 and CDT models had the rear roll bar deleted as part of the later cost-cutting measures - did this also apply to CDTi and did the model spec. make any difference?)

I believe that the facelift saloon won't have one but the tourer would

Thanks for the reply Sworks

Looks like I will need to look at the possibility of having an anti-roll bar fitted (may consider ZT version?)

Do remember they didnt just do away with the ARB they changed the spring rates and things as well, do you really think you need one ? I dont have one on my CDTi saloon and it corners quite well.

Certainly not fitted as standard on the 1.8 facelift saloon, but i fully intend to fit one
