Product Details
Made to fit the 2000-2004 Volkswagen Beetle GLX, the Heavy Duty 22mm Front Sway Bar from Whiteline. Whiteline part number: BAF13. It is listed for the A4 chassis. The listing names the GLX trim. Whiteline's note for this fit: Installs Under Driveshaft For Improved Clearance. Suits Models With Control Arm Link Mount. In the box: 1 sway bar and 2 bushings. Placement: front. The drivetrain on the listing is FWD.
Roll control starts at the front of most cars, where the steering tires do the hardest work. A stiffer front bar limits the lean of the body, keeps the outside front tire flatter on the road, and gives a more immediate response to steering. 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 Beetle: 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: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Finish: A powder coated finish resists corrosion and wear.
- Lateral locks: Lateral locks keep the bar centered under cornering load.
- Roll control: Reduces body sway through turns.
