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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward.
