What to check when buying a used Ford Ka anti roll bar
A used anti roll bar that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:

Fitment questions
Does the Ford Ka actually have an anti roll bar?
Yes, the Ford Ka does have anti roll bars — typically one at the front and one at the rear — as part of its suspension setup. The Ka uses a torsion beam rear axle which incorporates a twist-beam design that acts similarly to a rear anti roll bar, and a conventional front anti roll bar is also fitted. When searching for a used part, make sure you specify front or rear, as these are different components.
Will an anti roll bar from a first-generation Ka (1996–2008) fit my second-generation Ka (2008–2016)?
No — the Mk1 Ka (1996–2008) and Mk2 Ka (2008–2016) are completely different platforms, so the anti roll bars are not interchangeable between generations. The Mk2 Ka was based on the Fiat 500 platform and has entirely different suspension geometry. Always source a part from the correct generation, and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Does it matter which trim level my Ka is — for example, Studio, Style, Zetec or Titanium — when buying a second-generation anti roll bar?
Trim level does not affect anti roll bar fitment on the Mk2 Ka (2008–2016) — the suspension components are the same across Studio, Style, Zetec, and Titanium grades. You may find cosmetic differences on parts sourced from different trim cars, but the anti roll bar itself is a mechanical component unaffected by trim. Stick to matching the correct generation and engine size rather than worrying about trim.
Does engine size matter when sourcing a Ka anti roll bar?
For the Ford Ka, engine size is unlikely to make a significant difference to anti roll bar fitment given the narrow range of relatively small engines offered — the Mk2, for example, was available with 1.2 and 1.3 TDCi units. However, it is always worth confirming with the breaker against your specific registration, as there can occasionally be variation between petrol and diesel suspension setups. Providing your reg to the breaker is the safest approach.
Will a Mk1 Ka anti roll bar from a 2002 fit a facelift 2006 Ka?
The Mk1 Ka ran from 1996 to 2008 without a significant platform change, so a 2002 and a 2006 car are both Mk1 generation and anti roll bar compatibility is plausible. That said, there were running production changes over this long production run, so confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing to be certain the part matches. A good breaker will be able to cross-reference the part numbers to verify.
Should I be looking for a front or rear anti roll bar for my Ka, and how do I tell which I need?
The Ford Ka has both a front anti roll bar and a rear twist-beam axle that incorporates a rear anti roll bar function, so you need to be clear with the breaker about which end you require. If your car is clunking or the handling feels unbalanced, a garage inspection will confirm which component is worn or broken before you source the part. Always tell the breaker which end you need and provide your registration so they can supply the correct part.
