Product Details
This Whiteline Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit fits the 1991-1998 BMW 318i. The chassis code on the listing is E36/E30. It goes on the front and rear of the vehicle. In the box: 2 sway bars, 4 links, 4 bushings, 4 brackets, 8 bolts, 18 washers, and 10 nuts. Whiteline's note for this fit: Includes BBF39Z and BBR38Z, Front sway bar fits vehicles with control arm end link mounting. Whiteline part number: BBK001.
Body roll shifts load onto the outside tires, and a sway bar is the most direct way to limit it. Fitting stiffer bars at both ends keeps the platform flatter through a corner and lets the car turn in with less lean, and having a front and rear pair designed to work together keeps the balance predictable. The bar is adjustable, so the stiffness can be changed to suit the car and the road.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the 318i, see Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit, 22mm Rear Sway Bar Bushing Kit, and 24mm Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit.
Features
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
