Technical Front Anti-Roll Bar

[edessex]

Hi all, were all Uno's fitted with anti-roll bars at the front?

If one was removed, how much of a negative effect would it have on handling?

Cheers

Hi, can't believe nobodys answered this for you mate!

No, not all were fitted with the Anti Roll bar, only the Turbo models and SX models (i think). They do make a huge difference in handling, so removing it would be a big negative step if you ask me!

The smallest versions of the UNO have no Anti-Roll bar.
The thing is, the rest of the suspension is tuned to work without one.

So if your UNO has one, you can´t take it off.
If your UNO has none, you can´t put one on.

You can only change the whole unit.
But think about this fact. The UNO´s weight, differs over 100kg depending on the version and engine !!!
So the suspension it adapted to the over all weight.

So, LEAVE IT AS IT IS !

Thanks for the input guys.

So, LEAVE IT AS IT IS !

...Just to clarify, I'm not planning to keep the anti-roll bar removed.

I was replacing wishbones, and sheared the studs on one of the anti-roll bar end mounts (which was being replaced anyway), but then realised the new mounts didn't come with new nuts.

I asked because I was trying to make a decision about either leaving the car at my dad's, and pinching his car to get home, or driving the car home (10 miles) with no anti-roll bar fitted.

I went with plan B in the end, and drove it home. I can't say I have felt a difference in the ride, but then I don't think I really take corners quick enough to tell. BUT, the anti-roll bar will be re-fitted before I start using the car properly again.
