Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Sway Bar Link fits the 2011-2019 Volkswagen Beetle. In the box: 2 links. Chassis code: A5. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The part number is W23180.
The rear sway bar can only do its job if its ends are tied firmly to the wheels, and the links make that connection. A loose or flexible link lets the body lean before the bar starts to push back, which is why worn links show up as a knock over bumps or a delayed feel at turn-in.
Expect an easy job of about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Beetle: Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing.
Features
- Ball joints: Steel ball joint ends are built for heavy loads and free movement.
- Rigid design: A stiffer design than the factory part gives a more immediate response.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Preload-free setup: The link can be set to length on the vehicle to remove bar preload.
- Easy to fit: Designed so the install needs no specialized skills or tools.
