Whiteline Sway Bar Mounts are engineered to substitute original equipment mounts with a stronger, more rigid option, bolstering sway bar response, particularly vital for large diameter or adjustable sway bars and higher settings, as factory mounts are prone to premature twisting, flexing, and failure. These mounts utilize state-of-the-art Synthetic Elastomer materials and efficient designs such as internal bore knurling and grease retention lips to ensure optimum lubrication and performance.

    Factory-issued rubber sway bar bushings are engineered for commuter comfort, meaning they are prone to significant deflection under lateral loads. Over time, environmental exposure and hard cornering cycles cause these rubber units to soften, stretch, and perish, leading to unpredicted handling characteristics, delayed steering response, and vagueness at the limit.

    Sway bars transmit cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, helping to keep the vehicle flat during cornering. This, in turn, reduces body roll and improves the driver's cornering confidence. OEM rubber sway bar bushings are designed with comfort in mind, allowing the sway bar to articulate while permitting additional movement, leading to less-than-ideal bar retention and causes unnecessary body roll.

    Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings are firmer than factory rubber bushings, reducing body roll and keeping sway bars in check. Polyurethane bushings won't slop around like OEM bushings, allowing sway bars to function at their fullest potential.

    Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.
