Product Details
This Whiteline Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 22mm Front Sway Bar fits the 2004-2008 Subaru Forester XT. The listing names the XT trim. Part number BSF33Z. This part is for the front of the vehicle. In the box: 1 sway bar, 2 bushings, and 2 lateral locks.
The front bar connects the two front wheels so that load carried by one side is shared with the other. By stiffening that connection, the car leans less and the front tires work more evenly in a corner. The bar is adjustable, so the stiffness can be changed to suit the car and the road.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Forester: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts.
Features
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.

- Lateral locks: Lateral locks keep the bar centered under cornering load.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Roll control: Designed to cut body roll and sway through corners.
- Adjustable stiffness: Multiple mounting holes let you tune bar stiffness.
