iansoutham Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The rear anti-roll bar was used with certain engine specifications I believe. You can fit one, but need the appropriate rear arms. You also need the brackets, inner bushes, outer lever arms, the correct bracket bolts and the insert to stop the rear chassis section from distorting when tightened and the car is in motion. I retro-fitted one to mine. It came from an Escort S1 Turbo, complete with arms, etc... Renmember as well that there is 2 sizes of rollbar, 12mm (everything other than 3-door) and 16mm (3-door models only). This is basically what you need: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smiler Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Cor, this thread brings back some memories. I fitted the rear anti-roll bar from a mk4 eEscort shaped Orion to my mk3 Cab. I can't say how much of a difference it made as the car was a wreck when I got it but with all the other mods the cars suspesnion now easily out performs the cabrio shell.
