Product Details
This Whiteline Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 27mm Front Sway Bar (Models w/ Control Arm Link Mount) fits the 1999 BMW 323ti 3 Series. Chassis code: E36/5. Order it as part number BBF39Z. The kit contains 1 sway bar, 2 links, 2 bushings, 2 brackets, 4 bolts, 10 washers, and 4 nuts. It goes on the front of the vehicle.
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 1.5 hours. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 323ti 3 Series: Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing, and Rear Sway Bar Mount Bushing Kit.
Features
- Bar mounts: Internally knurled mount bushings with lips that hold grease keep the bar lubricated.
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Adjustable stiffness: More than one adjustment point lets you set the stiffness of the bar.
- Roll control: Reduces body sway through turns.
