Product Details

A sway bar link is the short rod that ties each end of the rear sway bar to the suspension. Whenever the body leans, the link carries that motion into the bar, so any slop, flex, or wear in it is slop in the whole roll-control system.
Whiteline rates the install as easy and lists about 1 hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Jetta: Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing.
Features
- Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joints at the ends move through a wide arc to suit the application.
- Easy to fit: Made with the installer in mind, so it goes in without special equipment.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Rigid design: Built to remove the flex found in factory parts, so inputs reach the bar sooner.
- Preload-free setup: The length can be set on the car to remove preload from the sway bar.
