Product Details

For the 2000-2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLX (1J), Whiteline makes the Heavy Duty 22mm Front Sway Bar. The listing names the GLX trim. This part is for the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: BAF13. Application note: Installs Under Driveshaft For Improved Clearance. Suits Models With Control Arm Link Mount. The kit contains 1 sway bar and 2 bushings. This listing is for FWD models.

A sway bar is a torsion spring that links the left and right wheels. When the body leans, the bar twists and resists, which keeps the car flatter and spreads load more evenly across the tires. In general, a stiffer front bar reduces roll and helps the nose stay planted, with a tendency toward understeer if it is overdone. It is a fixed design with a single stiffness setting, which keeps it simple.

Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 3 hours. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Jetta: Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Rear Sway Bar, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms).

Features

• Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
• Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
• Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
• Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
• Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
• Lateral locks: DIY lateral locks stop the bar from shifting sideways under cornering loads.
