Product Details
Owners of the 1996-1999 BMW 328i 3 Series (E36) can fit the Whiteline Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 27mm Front Sway Bar (Models w/ Strut Link Mount). Part number BBF38Z. It goes on the front of the vehicle. The kit contains 1 sway bar and 2 bushings.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1.5 hours. No alignment is needed afterward. 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 328i 3 Series.
Features
- Finish: The metal parts are powder coated for durability.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Lateral locks: Lateral locks stop the bar sliding sideways under load.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
