Product Details
Made to fit the 2012-2013 BMW 135i 1 Series, the Rear Sway Bar Link from Whiteline. Order it as part number W23180. Chassis code: E82/E88. You receive 2 links. It goes on the rear of the vehicle.
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. To go with it on the 135i 1 Series, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Heavy Duty 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Rear Lower Trailing Arm Bushing.
Features
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Preload-free setup: The length can be set on the car to remove preload from the sway bar.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Ball joints: Steel ball joint ends are built for heavy loads and free movement.
- Rigid design: Less flex than the original parts means a quicker, more direct response, especially in lane changes and at initial turn-in.
