Product Details
This Whiteline Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link fits the 2009-2013 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works. Part number KLC106. Trim named on the listing: John Cooper Works. In the box: 2 links. It goes on the rear of the vehicle.
The rear sway bar can only do its job if its ends are tied firmly to the wheels, and the links make that connection. A loose or flexible link lets the body lean before the bar starts to push back, which is why worn links show up as a knock over bumps or a delayed feel at turn-in. Because the length is adjustable, the link can be set on the car so the bar sits relaxed at rest, which matters most after a change in ride height.
Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Cooper, see Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit.
Features
- Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joint ends pivot freely through a wide range, which helps fitment.
- Preload-free setup: The link can be set to length on the vehicle to remove bar preload.
- Anodized alloy: An anodized coating protects the alloy from corrosion and wear.
- Pre-greased: Pre-greased at the factory so it can be fitted right away.
- Rigid design: Built to remove the flex found in factory parts, so inputs reach the bar sooner.
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
