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 front bar reduces roll and helps the nose stay planted, with a tendency toward understeer if it is overdone. 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 2 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit for the Volkswagen R32.

- Roll control: Reduces body sway through turns.
- Finish: A powder coated finish resists corrosion and wear.
- Adjustable stiffness: Multiple mounting holes let you tune bar stiffness.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
