Product Details
Whiteline built the Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Front Sway Bar for the 2001-2003 Mercedes-Benz C200 C-Class. The part number is BMF97Z. Chassis code: W203. The kit contains 1 sway bar, 2 bushings, and 2 lateral locks. This part is for the front of the vehicle.
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. Adjustable mounting points let you step the stiffness up or down without changing the bar.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the C200 C-Class: Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Sway Bar Link, and Heavy Duty 22mm Rear Sway Bar.
Features
- Roll control: Built to reduce lean when cornering.
- Adjustable stiffness: The bar has more than one mounting position so stiffness can be tuned.
- Roll stiffness: A larger diameter bar has more torsional resistance, which raises overall roll stiffness.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Finish: Powder coating covers the metal for protection against chips and rust.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
