Anti-Roll Bar: Rear - TR5-6

The addition of the rear anti-roll bar will change the characteristics of the car considerably. It will increase road holding because it will cause the car to corner flatter by limiting roll. With modern tyres and/or more tread on the road the TR must grip better on a dry surface. The bar causes more weight transfer to the outside rear wheel, which will ultimately promote oversteer, a condition you either love or hate.

The bar is supplied standard with 4 rubber link bushes. The bar can be made more effective by the use of nylatron or Polyurethane instead: either one each side or two for maximum effect. It is suggested that these substitutions are made progressively and the TR test-driven to tune the suspension precisely to personal taste. Don’t forget, the wet road behaviour will change too and oversteer in the wet can be quite a challenge, though good fun, once mastered. The ultimate condition is to rose joint the bar ends to the trailing arms, though these may not be practical on road applications.
