Product Details

Looking for a front sway bar link for your 1998 Volkswagen Golf/GTI K2 (1J)? The Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms) is made for it. Part number KLC150. Trim named on the listing: K2. Application note: Suits Models with Pressed Steel Arm. Adjustable Extra Heavy Duty. The kit contains 2 links. Position: front.

A sway bar link is the short rod that ties each end of the front sway bar to the suspension. Whenever the body leans, the link carries that motion into the bar, so any slop, flex, or wear in it is slop in the whole roll-control system. 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.

Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Rear Sway Bar.

Features

  • Pre-greased: Pre-greased at the factory so it can be fitted right away.
  • Rigid design: Taking the flex out of the connection makes the car react faster to steering input.
  • Preload-free setup: The link can be set to length on the vehicle to remove bar preload.
  • Construction: High-strength alloy gives the strength needed without much weight.
  • Hardware: Also in the box: locking nuts and washers.
  • Anodized alloy: The alloy is anodized, adding a durable protective layer.
