Volkswagen Golf Sway bar replacement

Why would my Volkswagen Golf sway bar need to be replaced?

Your Volkswagen Golf's suspension system is comprised of many components, one of which is the sway bar.

Also known as an anti-roll bar, the sway bar connects both sides of your Volkswagen Golf’s suspension together to control the amount of body roll present when cornering.

Sway bars may be fitted to the front and rear of your Volkswagen Golf, although some smaller Volkswagen Golf’s only had a front sway bar fitted.

Working in conjunction with your Volkswagen Golf’s springs and shock absorbers, the sway bar provides stable and predictable handling through both low and high-speed corners.

The sway bar is connected to the body of your Volkswagen Golf with rubber bushes, and joins either directly to the shock absorber or to the control arms via sway bar end links, which are fitted with ball joints at both ends to allow for movement - these components are more common to wear out over time, but in rare cases, the sway bar itself will need to be replaced to return your Volkswagen Golf’s handling back to factory specification.

So if you feel your Volkswagen Golf’s handling has degraded or you can feel excess body roll when cornering, book an inspection or replacement through AutoGuru, and get your Volkswagen Golf feeling good as new in no time!
