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. The bar is adjustable, so the stiffness can be changed to suit the car and the road.
Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar for the Cooper.
Features
- Roll control: Built to reduce lean when cornering.
- Lateral locks: Lateral locks keep the bar centered under cornering load.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Finish: Powder coating covers the metal for protection against chips and rust.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Roll stiffness: A larger diameter bar has more torsional resistance, which raises overall roll stiffness.
