Product Details
This page covers the Whiteline Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Front Sway Bar for the 2004-2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor. It is listed for the W203 chassis. The listing names the Kompressor trim. Position: front. You receive 1 sway bar, 2 bushings, and 2 lateral locks. Whiteline part number: BMF97Z.
The front bar connects the two front wheels so that load carried by one side is shared with the other. By stiffening that connection, the car leans less and the front tires work more evenly in a corner. The bar is adjustable, so the stiffness can be changed to suit the car and the road.
Expect a moderate job of about 2 hours. It does not require a wheel alignment. To go with it on the C230, see Front Sway Bar Link Kit and Heavy Duty 22mm Rear Sway Bar.
Features
- Lateral locks: Lateral locks keep the bar centered under cornering load.
- Finish: The metal parts are powder coated for durability.
- Roll stiffness: A larger diameter bar has more torsional resistance, which raises overall roll stiffness.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Roll control: Built to reduce lean when cornering.
- Adjustable stiffness: Multiple mounting holes let you tune bar stiffness.
