Product Details

Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms) is made for the 1998-2005 Volkswagen Golf/GTI GL, GTI VR6 (1J). Application note: Suits Models with Pressed Steel Arm. Adjustable Extra Heavy Duty. The part number is KLC150. Trims named on the listing: GL and GTI VR6. It goes on the front of the vehicle. In the box: 2 links.

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. Its adjustable body lets you set the length with the car on the ground, so the bar is not twisted against its own mounts before the car even moves.

Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing.

Features

  • Anodized alloy: The alloy is anodized, adding a durable protective layer.
  • Rigid design: Less flex than the original parts means a quicker, more direct response, especially in lane changes and at initial turn-in.
  • Ball joints: Steel ball joint ends are built for heavy loads and free movement.
  • Pre-greased: Joints arrive pre-greased and ready to install.
  • Construction: Made from strong, light alloy.
  • Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
