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. 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.
Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing.
Features
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Hardware: Supplied with locking nuts and washers.
- Anodized alloy: Anodized alloy parts resist corrosion and wear and look good doing it.
- Ball joints: Steel ball joint ends handle the loads and rotate to suit the car's geometry.
- Preload-free setup: The length can be set on the car to remove preload from the sway bar.
- Pre-greased: Comes pre-greased, so it can go straight on the car.
