Product Details
The Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link fits the 2008-2013 BMW 128i 1 Series (E82/E88). Included: 2 links and 8 washers. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adjustable extra heavy duty. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Part number KLC154.
The front sway bar can only do its job if its ends are tied firmly to the wheels, and the links make that connection. A loose or flexible link lets the body lean before the bar starts to push back, which is why worn links show up as a knock over bumps or a delayed feel at turn-in. A body that adjusts in length means the link can be matched to the car instead of the other way around, and the bar starts from a neutral position.
Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 128i 1 Series: Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, Heavy Duty 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Rear Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Pre-greased: Pre-greased at the factory so it can be fitted right away.
- Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joints at the ends move through a wide arc to suit the application.
- Hardware: Hardware supplied: locking nuts and washers.
- Anodized alloy: The alloy carries an anodized finish for durability.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Rigid design: Taking the flex out of the connection makes the car react faster to steering input.
