ive taken mine off and didnt feel any different , then it was motd and passed no probs , if you get a flat 12mm spanner open end and put it inbetween the rubber boot and the joint you will see 2 flats then get a socket on the bolt , be carful it doesnt round off they can be stiff little buggers.

Hello there,
Andyw mentions this also, I'll perhaps have a go at taking it off then and see how it drives. Then I'll at least be able to make a decision that is a bit more informed on my particular vehicle. Thanks to you both for letting us know about this as it appears the flats are not well known about.

Jamesey and Andy W you are both right!!!
I have had a fresh look at it now I have had some time and I can see the flat you were talking about. I really should have looked properly in the first place!!!
It is 14mm on mine, so I didn't need to grind the spanner down as it was far larger than the rubber and therefore did not come into contact with it at all, being much larger. I imagine the smaller ones that Jamesey mentions will need a bit more care though as the spanner will be a similar size to the rubber and could therefore catch on it and grinding the spanner down would help to not damage it.
I have driven it without the anti-roll bar now and although it does lean a little more, I would not say it is too much and it is easily acceptable.
Thanks for all your help you lot.
