Product Details
Whiteline Heavy Duty 22mm Rear Sway Bar is made for the 2002-2005 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor C-Class (W203). Part number BMR99. The kit contains 1 sway bar and 2 bushings. Whiteline's note for this fit: Non adjustable. Heavy duty. Trim named on the listing: Kompressor C-Class. It goes on the rear 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 rear bar helps the tail rotate and reduces understeer. It is a fixed design with a single stiffness setting, which keeps it simple.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the C230: Front Sway Bar Link Kit and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Front Sway Bar.
Features
- Roll control: Designed to cut body roll and sway through corners.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Roll stiffness: A larger diameter bar has more torsional resistance, which raises overall roll stiffness.
- Finish: Powder coating covers the metal for protection against chips and rust.
- Lateral locks: Lateral locks keep the bar centered under cornering load.
