Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Sway Bar Link fits the 2008-2012 Audi S3. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. You receive 2 links. Order it as part number W23180.
Links are small parts with a large effect on how a car leans in a corner. They sit between the bar and the suspension and decide how quickly and how evenly the bar's resistance reaches the tire, and this rear link is built to keep that connection firm.
Expect an easy job of about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Audi S3, see Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Preload-free setup: The link can be set to length on the vehicle to remove bar preload.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Material: Made from steel.
- Rigid design: Less flex than the original parts means a quicker, more direct response, especially in lane changes and at initial turn-in.
- Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joints at the ends move through a wide arc to suit the application.
