The 034Motorsport Adjustable Rear Sway Bar is an essential upgrade for MQB and MQB EVO FWD platforms such as the Golf 7/8 GTI. This massive stabilizer bar with a diameter of 25.4 mm is designed to to drastically reduce understeer and limit body roll during spirited driving.
By stiffening the rear and retaining the original front stabilizer, a better balance is created in the chassis. This ensures faster steering response, more grip and a more direct driving feel, without loss of comfort.
The sway bar has been fully tested on the street and track and comes with maintenance-free, Teflon-lined polyurethane bushings that ensure a quick response without extra noise or vibrations.
