Antirollbar removal and MOT
by Sir-Doris on Wed Sep 10, 2008 2:53 am
What I really want to know is: Has anyone removed their Front Antiroll bar and successfully passed the MOT or do you all put it back on again come MOT time?

Alex has, passed no problems.
If it is'nt fitted, it can't be checked, thos, can't fail a MOT.

As well as brake lights you must have rear reflectors fitted.

Right then, so the consensus is it will pass if removed. So its just a matter of personal opinion as to whether I feel comfortable with it or not. Thanks chaps, thats all I needed to know. if anyone else has any comments or suggestions or experience with MOT and lack of a front ARB please speak up.

Good stuff, just wanted to know if anyone had passed the MOT without it. I kinda like the way it handles at the moment but best way to find out is to try it.
