Product Details
This Whiteline Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link fits the 2012-2015 Mini Cooper Coupe. The chassis code on the listing is F56. Included: 2 links. Trim named on the listing: Coupe. Part number KLC106. Position: rear.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Cooper: Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar, Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit, and Heavy Duty 26mm Front Sway Bar.
Features
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joints at the ends move through a wide arc to suit the application.
- Hardware: The kit includes locking nuts and washers.
- Anodized alloy: The alloy is anodized, adding a durable protective layer.
- 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.
