Just bought a car and the guy says it has had an anti roll bar fitted on the engine.?

When u drive the car it makes a starnge noise and the guy says this is down to the anti roll bar setting in, is this true.|||They install a bar between the front strut towers under the hood. This is supposed to stiffen the body of the car. If it is installed correctly, you should not hear any movement betweent the body and the installed bar. No, it is not from the bar "settling in". It is either installed correctly or incorrectly. It may be loose, or the noise could be coming from another part of your suspension. Have it looked at.|||very strange i have never heard of an engine having an anti roll bar fitted. these are usually situated underneath the car to minimise roll when your cornering. they work with suspension not the engine. maybe there is an after market strut bar fitted, you would notice this straight away its just a bar that fits across your engine from one suspension leg to the other but again this should not affect the engine noise i would suggest getting a friend to look who knows a bit about cars otherwise take it to a garage|||i have heard of this and its quite common. the engine doesnt start, you get mad and take your biggest breaker bar and proceed to junk both items, hence engine anti-roll bar.|||I too have never heard of an anti roll bar on an engine??? I'm not quite sure if this guy knows what he's talking about. I've been working on cars for most of my life and I have never come across this. I would definitely take your car to a garage to see whats going on. Good luck!!
