aFe CONTROL Rear Sway Bar with Adjustable End Links for 2015-2021 Volkswagen GTI MkVII 2.0L Turbo, Blue

Transform your Volkswagen into a canyon carving machine with aFe CONTROL sway bars. With 2-way adjustability in the rear, you can easily dial in the handling balance and eliminate understeer. Body roll will be reduced, maximizing tire contact with the road. Sharpened steering response will improve initial turn-in making the car more agile and feel lighter. Our kit also includes adjustable, high articulating rear end links to replace the factory plastic units. The rear links are rather short, so higher articulating links are ideal for an adjustable sway bar. Whether its stability on the track, more rotation on the autocross, or just adding confidence in the canyon, aFe Control sway bars will deliver. Every aFe Control sway bar is CAD designed and CNC bent to strict tolerances. This insures precise fit and perfect operation. Our 2-way adjustable rear sway bar allows the driver to dial in the rear roll resistance to achieve the desired handling bias. The rear sway bar is equipped with laser cut arms. These are welded to the bar in a dedicated fixture to insure accurate hole positioning and consistent manufacturing. aFe Control’s end links use PTFE lined Aurora rod ends with high articulating studs and misalignment spacers. These are also length adjustable if you want to adjust out any static pre-load in the rear bar. aFe Control includes low-deflection polyurethane bushings and premium 6061-T6 aluminum black anodized billet brackets. The brackets are outfitted with grease fittings for easy maintenance aFe CONTROL Rear Sway Bar Blue Volkswagen GTI (MKVII) 15-21 L4-2.0L (t)
