1. A roll stabilizer for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a torsion bar comprising two torsion bar parts;
an actuator disposed between the torsion bar parts for transferring a torque;
a vibration damper for reducing vibrations of the roll stabilizer, the vibration damper comprising two half-shell components that form an annular clamp configured to vibrate with respect to the torsion bar; and
a damper spring disposed between the torsion bar and the vibration damper; and
the vibration damper includes at least one adjusting screw configured for adjusting a rigidity of the damper spring to a selected one of a plurality of different rigidities; and
an upper retaining clamp and at least one lower retaining bracket configured to enable orienting the vibration damper in any rotational direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the torsion bar.
