Upon changing the fuel tank on my 3dr, we noticed there is no rear anti roll bar and there is also no mounts for it to bolt to - this is on a sapphire rear beam.

We then checked my sapphire which had a 7.5" diff and beam from the factory and that also does not have an anti roll bar or brackets.

Is this normal?

Im assuming this will make the car handle a bit shit?

 

is it possible its from a standard sierra mate .has it spherical bearings?

 

the rear beam in the 3dr is a saph cossie 2wd rear beam.

The rear beam in the saph could possibly be the original 7.5 beam from factory as the car is originally a 1991 Ghia it had a 7.5 open diff as standard from factory

 

Did a saph 2wd have a rear ARB ?

Pretty sure I came across that before years ago, 3 door and 4wd pretty sure both did.

Although in the real world, given how skinny they are, I really doubt it'd make any huge difference worth worrying about.

 

i think it may have been only cosworths came with the roll bar

yeah steve the 2wd saff had them

 

All Cosworths had a rear anti roll bar, but the Sierra mk1 had a longer one that mounts on the outside of the arms, while the mk2 one mounts on the inside of the arms near the brake hose bracket.

If the beam on the 3dr is from a Sapph cossie 2wd it should have the mounts at the brake hose bracket.

If the beam on the Sapph is from a normal Sapph it will not have the brackets, as only the Cosworth and the XR4x4 had them.
