Product Details
This Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link fits the 1999-2000 BMW 328i 3 Series. The chassis code on the listing is E46. Whiteline part number: KLC163. In the box: 2 links. It goes on the front of the vehicle.
The front 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. A body that adjusts in length means the link can be matched to the car instead of the other way around, and the bar starts from a neutral position.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 328i 3 Series: Front Strut Tower Brace, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing.
Features
- Rigid design: Less flex than the original parts means a quicker, more direct response, especially in lane changes and at initial turn-in.
- Preload-free setup: The link can be set to length on the vehicle to remove bar preload.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Hardware: The kit includes locking nuts and washers.
- Pre-greased: Comes pre-greased, so it can go straight on the car.
- Construction: Alloy construction keeps the weight down while handling the loads.
