I had the same issues on my old 4g when i had just the rear bar on yes it was happy to dive into corners but all the action was taking place at the back.
i have an uprated rear bar for my 5g but i am not going to fit it until i have a front one for just that reason it makes the back end really lively and a little bouncy, if it finds a rhythm it will get worse if you know what i mean.
my uprated rear ARB is the only thing polybushed on my 4g and I didn't get any "rear wiggle". could be a 2ws vs 4ws thing though due to the extra camber (I think) the 4ws can be set to maybe?

Ratty doesnt have 4ws i didnt have it with my old 4g either but still got the bouncing wiggly feeling (that sounds so wrong)

that's what I meant, maybe I didn't get it because I have 4ws, and maybe you and ratty got it because you have 2ws - just a thought

maybe the extra weight over the rear wheels helps

Im going to remove this bar.
Its a giant PITA. Soooo incomfortable. I cannot se why no one has commented on it. Not for a daily drive at all.
On a track.....awesome.
Driving out of my village and hitting the country road the rear end is all over the place in a straight line.
Not had the rear end toe fully zeroed yet but i cannot see it helping much at all.
Its just so stiff now. Like the rear is no longer independant.

Ill put the old bar back on a see how it goes.

It doesnt help that these AD08r tyres and my awesome even all round camber follow the road like a snake.

without an uprated front to match it will always feel unbalanced

which bar is it?

Tanabe sustec. Why is no one else having or commenting on these effects?
Kind of ruined the car 80% of the time.

So you haven't had the rear alignment done yet?

Post by **RattyMcClelland** » Sat Dec 12, 2015 10:47 pm

It's aligned but the rear toe is still at 0.06 each side toed in. I can't see that making it so jiggly.
All the alignment companies are always fully booked on a weekend.

A bit of toe in will make it less stable.

What spring rates you running on the back?

Also I take it your running the stock arb an the front?

how many people do you think have any experience of uprated roll bars

I run the stock front roll bar. 7kg springs on the back. Dampener settings make no real difference. It's still hard and causes jiggles.

I cant see changing the front roll bar to an updated one making it better but I can try. It's just £230 that's won't be guaranteed to work.
