Ford Transit Connect Anti Roll Bar Replacement Parts

Yes, the Ford Transit Connect is fitted with an anti roll bar (also called a stabiliser bar) at the front axle across all generations of the van. The front suspension uses a torsion beam or strut-based layout depending on generation, and the anti roll bar is a standard component. If you are searching for a rear anti roll bar, be aware that the Transit Connect uses a simple torsion beam rear axle on most variants, which does not carry a separate anti roll bar in the traditional sense, so confirm with the breaker exactly which end you need.

No, the first-generation Transit Connect (2002–2013) and the second-generation (2013–2021) are completely different platforms and the anti roll bar will not interchange between them. These generations differ significantly in front subframe and suspension geometry, so always match the part to the correct generation. Give the breaker your registration to confirm the exact generation before ordering.

This is worth checking carefully, because Ford Transit Connect variants are available in different payload ratings and the heavier-rated versions can be fitted with uprated suspension components to cope with the higher GVW. The anti roll bar specification may differ between lighter L1 short-wheelbase and heavier-rated variants, so check the plate on your van for its GVW rating and confirm this with the breaker rather than relying on the model name alone. Do not assume all Transit Connects of the same year share identical running gear.

For the anti roll bar specifically, trim level does not affect fitment – the anti roll bar is determined by generation, wheelbase, and payload rating, not by whether the van is a base-spec or a higher-spec Limited or Sport trim. Trim differences on the Transit Connect relate to interior equipment, cosmetics, and driver aids, none of which change the front suspension hardware. Stick to matching generation and GVW rating and you should be looking at the right part.

The second-generation Transit Connect ran from 2013 to 2021, so a 2013 and a 2015 are nominally within the same generation. However, 2013 was the first production year of the new generation and there can be early-build variations, so confirm with the breaker by providing both registrations rather than assuming all second-gen bars are identical. Wheelbase and payload rating should also match between the donor and recipient van.

The main anti roll bar on the Transit Connect runs across the full width of the vehicle, so it is not a nearside or offside part – you simply need the bar for your correct generation and wheelbase. However, the drop links (the rods that connect the bar to the suspension struts) are handed, so you will need to specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) when ordering those separately. Confirm with the breaker whether you need the full bar, the drop links, or both, so you receive exactly the right components.
