Product Details
This Whiteline Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link fits the 2011-2012 Jeep Patriot Latitude X. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adjustable Extra Heavy Duty. The kit contains 2 links. Trim named on the listing: Latitude X. It is listed for the MK chassis. Order it as part number KLC144.
A sway bar link is the short rod that ties each end of the rear sway bar to the suspension. Whenever the body leans, the link carries that motion into the bar, so any slop, flex, or wear in it is slop in the whole roll-control system. 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.
Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Patriot, see 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing.
Features
- Rigid design: A stiffer design than the factory part gives a more immediate response.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Ball joints: Steel ball joint ends are built for heavy loads and free movement.
- Preload-free setup: The length can be set on the car to remove preload from the sway bar.
- Pre-greased: Comes pre-greased, so it can go straight on the car.
- Anodized alloy: The alloy is anodized, adding a durable protective layer.
