Product Details

Made to fit the 2002-2005 Volkswagen Golf/GTI 1.8T (1J), the Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms) from Whiteline. Order it as part number KLC150. The listing names the 1.8T trim. The kit contains 2 links. Placement: front. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits Models with Pressed Steel Arm. Adjustable Extra Heavy Duty.

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.

Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward. 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

• Pre-greased: Pre-greased at the factory so it can be fitted right away.
• Construction: Made from strong, light alloy.
• Anodized alloy: The alloy carries an anodized finish for durability.
• 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 handle the loads and rotate to suit the car's geometry.
• Preload-free setup: The link can be set to length on the vehicle to remove bar preload.
