A sway bar is a torsion spring that links the left and right wheels. When the body leans, the bar twists and resists, which keeps the car flatter and spreads load more evenly across the tires. In general, a stiffer rear bar helps the tail rotate and reduces understeer. 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 1.5 hours. It does not require a wheel alignment. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing for the 328is 3 Series.
Features
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Rigid design: Taking the flex out of the connection makes the car react faster to steering input.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
- Hardware: Hardware supplied: mounting hardware and mounting brackets.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
