Product Details
Whiteline built the Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 22mm Rear Sway Bar for the 2017-2019 Volkswagen Golf/GTI Golf R. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. Order it as part number BWR25Z. The kit contains 1 sway bar, 2 bushings, 2 saddles, and 2 lateral locks. Chassis code: AU.
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 hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. Working on the same car? We also list Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing for the Golf/GTI Golf R.
Features

- Roll control: Built to reduce lean when cornering.
