Product Details

The Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms) fits the 1998-2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLX (1J). The kit contains 2 links. Application note: Suits Models with Pressed Steel Arm. Adjustable Extra Heavy Duty. Part number KLC150. Position: front. Trim named on the listing: GLX.

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. Because the length is adjustable, the link can be set on the car so the bar sits relaxed at rest, which matters most after a change in ride height.

Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Jetta, see 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Rear Sway Bar.

Features

  • Rigid design: Taking the flex out of the connection makes the car react faster to steering input.
  • Anodized alloy: Anodized alloy parts resist corrosion and wear and look good doing it.
  • Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joints at the ends move through a wide arc to suit the application.
  • Pre-greased: Comes pre-greased, so it can go straight on the car.
  • Preload-free setup: The length can be set on the car to remove preload from the sway bar.
  • Hardware: Also in the box: locking nuts and washers.
