Which is why the manual says; An antiroll bar fitted as “standard”:)[/quote]
With respect VA..How are we to know this fact???…If the brackets are there You could assume “someting has been removed” but you would not assume that the bracket was fitted as standard, for an “optional extra” to be fitted (or not) to it..:?[/quote]
That would depend on how it is fitted. Misunderstanding can take place at first sight when an element of doubt exists, but it is only a phone call to make the right decision before entering final details into computerisation. With experience a tester knows the vehicles and what is normally fitted, I have had vehicles without antiroll bars fitted and the brackets welded in place, yes i thought the antiroll bar was missing, but then I looked at the design of the suspension system in question and asked myself, how important would an antiroll bar be on this model?
I refer you back to the vaxuhall Corsa B as an example, picture in your mind the rear axle, now think about the antiroll bars fitted position, think also about the axle design and its rigidity, if the purpose of the antiroll bar is to prevent roll, and provide some stability, then what does the axle beam do?
exactly the same thing, prevent roll and provide stability.
In any element of doubt just make the phone call.
