Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 Sway bar replacement
Why would my Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 sway bar need to be replaced?
Your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303'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 1200/1300/1302/1303’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 1200/1300/1302/1303, although some smaller Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303’s only had a front sway bar fitted.
Working in conjunction with your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303’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 1200/1300/1302/1303 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 1200/1300/1302/1303’s handling back to factory specification.
So if you feel your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303’s handling has degraded or you can feel excess body roll when cornering, book an inspection or replacement through AutoGuru, and get your Volkswagen 1200/1300/1302/1303 feeling good as new in no time!
