Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows if whiteline manufacture a front swaybar for beetle with ball joint front end, that mounts in the same way as the stock one, just with larger diameter.

I have one of their race adjustable front bars, however I don't like the way that they are mounted to the end of the lower shock mount. In my case there is not even enough thread on the lower shock bolt to fit the supplied bracket with their kit.

If not Whiteline- what are the options for uprated front swaybars??

Thanks in advance,

David

If your driving a Street car Adjustable Sway bars are a waste of time there are too many moving parts on them

better of going with the fixed type from White line they have differnt diameters and ratings 18mm is the most common for a street car.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Hi,

I will be using it for a few track days as well but mainly street.

Does the whiteline fixed type mount like a stock bar or ?
If their fixed type is mounted to the lower shock mount bolt then I don't want it! Just trying to avoid the same mounting issues as I have with the adjustable one.

Cheers

David
