Product Details
Whiteline built the Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 22mm Rear Sway Bar for the 2015-2019 Audi A3 Quattro (8V). In the box: 1 sway bar, 2 bushings, 2 saddles, and 2 lateral locks. The listing names the Quattro trim. Position: rear. The part number is BWR25Z.
The rear sway bar has a large say in how a car balances. Stiffening it limits roll at the back and brings the tail around more readily, which many drivers use to lessen understeer and sharpen response. The bar is adjustable, so the stiffness can be changed to suit the car and the road.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link for the Audi A3.
Features
- Lateral locks: DIY lateral locks stop the bar from shifting sideways under cornering loads.
- Bar mounts: Internally knurled mount bushings with lips that hold grease keep the bar lubricated.
- Bushing compound: The synthetic elastomer used is low in compliance, so it flexes less.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
