Product Details

Fitted to the 1992-1997 BMW 318is 3 Series: the Whiteline Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 27mm Front Sway Bar (Models w/ Strut Link Mount). The kit contains 1 sway bar and 2 bushings. Position: front. The part number is BBF38Z. Chassis code: E36.

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. The bar is adjustable, so the stiffness can be changed to suit the car and the road.

Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1.5 hours. A wheel alignment is not required. Working on the same car? We also list Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing for the 318is 3 Series.

Features

• Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
• Lateral locks: Lateral locks keep the bar centered under cornering load.
• Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
• Adjustable stiffness: The bar has more than one mounting position so stiffness can be tuned.
• Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
• Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
