Product Details
This Whiteline Front Sway Bar Link Kit fits the 2006-2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280. Chassis code: R171. The kit contains 2 links. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: KLC180-275.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. It does not require a wheel alignment.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Pre-greased: Pre-greased at the factory so it can be fitted right away.
- Material: Built from aluminum alloy.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
