Default Bad handling...

My new Mk6 RS2K's handling was all over the place especially the rear end it seemed really loose. I done a bounce test at each corner and the dampers seem fine, the bushing's had seen better days though. I replaced the front swing arms and ARB links with standard Ford stuff but used poly bushes for the front ARB bushes and rear beam bushes. I ordered a full rear kit only to find there is no anti roll bar present on the rear beam..where all cars fitted with one originally??

Is a rear anti roll bar really essential given it doesn't attach to the body..? Would the rear beam flex enough to need one..?

The car now behaves much better but is still a bit twitchy and no where near as good as my Mk5b 2.0 Zetec.....any suggestions anyone..??
