Product Details
Fitted to the 2009-2011 Volkswagen Beetle (A5): the Whiteline Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms). Order it as part number KLC150. Position: front. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits Models with Pressed Steel Arm. Adjustable Extra Heavy Duty. The kit contains 2 links.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Beetle, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Ball joints: Steel ball joint ends handle the loads and rotate to suit the car's geometry.
- Anodized alloy: The alloy carries an anodized finish for durability.
- Construction: Alloy construction keeps the weight down while handling the loads.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Preload-free setup: The link can be set to length on the vehicle to remove bar preload.
- Hardware: Also in the box: locking nuts and washers.
