Product Details
This Whiteline 236mm Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit fits the 2006-2009 Volkswagen Rabbit (1K). In the box: 2 bushings. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Part number W23618.
The sway bar sits in rubber bushings that let it rotate as it twists. When those bushings wear or compress, the bar slides and shifts in its mounts, which causes clunking and a slight delay before it begins to resist roll. Replacement bushings hold the bar in its proper place while still letting it turn.
Installation is rated easy, with about 1 hour of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link for the Rabbit.
Features
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
