Product Details

Fitted to the 1998 Volkswagen Jetta GT, K2: the Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms). Part number KLC150. Trims named on the listing: GT and K2. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Included: 2 links. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits Models with Pressed Steel Arm. Adjustable Extra Heavy Duty. The chassis code on the listing is 1J.

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. 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. 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

  • Anodized alloy: Anodized alloy parts resist corrosion and wear and look good doing it.
  • Rigid design: Built to remove the flex found in factory parts, so inputs reach the bar sooner.
  • Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
  • Hardware: Supplied with locking nuts and washers.
  • Construction: The body is made from high-grade alloy for strength without added weight.
  • Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joint ends pivot freely through a wide range, which helps fitment.
