What is a sway bar and what does it do?

A sway bar, also known as an anti-roll bar, connects the left and right sides of your suspension. Its main job is to resist body roll when you turn, helping to keep your vehicle flatter and more stable through corners.

Does this sway bar affect ride comfort?

H&R designs these sway bars to improve handling and reduce body roll without negatively impacting your car's ride comfort. The goal is to enhance cornering control and stability while maintaining a comfortable ride.

What are the included Poly/Teflon bushings?

These are special bushings made from a urethane/Teflon composite. They are designed to prevent squeaks and eliminate the need for lubrication, offering a maintenance-free and clean installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to tighten up the handling on your 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, this rear sway bar from H&R is a solid option. It's designed to increase your suspension's resistance to body roll during turns, which means less leaning and more confidence when you're cornering. This translates to improved stability and better grip, especially when you're pushing the car a bit.

This sway bar is made from 50CrV4 steel, a material known for its quick response, and it's a larger diameter than the stock bar. H&R includes their special Poly/Teflon bushings with this kit, which are designed to prevent squeaks and don't need any lubrication, making for a clean and maintenance-free installation. While this specific rear bar isn't adjustable, it's built to provide a noticeable improvement in how your car handles turns without changing the overall ride comfort.
