Product Details
Whiteline Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 27mm Front Sway Bar (Models w/ Control Arm Link Mount) is made for the 1995-1999 BMW 318ti 3 Series. This part is for the front of the vehicle. Order it as part number BBF39Z. Chassis code: E36. In the box: 1 sway bar, 2 links, 2 bushings, 2 brackets, 4 bolts, 10 washers, and 4 nuts.
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. Adjustable mounting points let you step the stiffness up or down without changing the bar.
Expect a moderate job of about 1.5 hours. A wheel alignment is not required. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 318ti 3 Series: Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
Features
- Bar mounts: The mount bushings have a knurled bore and grease-holding lips.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Lateral locks: DIY lateral locks stop the bar from shifting sideways under cornering loads.
- Finish: A powder coated finish resists corrosion and wear.
- Rigid design: Built to remove the flex found in factory parts, so inputs reach the bar sooner.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
