FAQs

How do I adjust the stiffness of the anti-roll bar?

Adjustment is typically made by repositioning the drop links to different mounting holes on the anti-roll bar's lever arms. Consult the included instructions for specific details on your model's adjustment points.

Does this anti-roll bar affect ride comfort?

While it significantly reduces body roll, which improves the *feeling* of stability, very stiff settings can make the ride firmer over bumps. The adjustability allows you to balance performance with comfort.

Is an alignment necessary after installation?

It is highly recommended to get a professional wheel alignment after installing or adjusting an anti-roll bar to ensure optimal handling and tire wear.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Whiteline Performance Products, including sway bars, are covered by a 3-year warranty against material and workmanship defects for the original purchaser. Installation components (fitting kits) have a 1-year warranty.

Can I install this myself?

The kit is designed for DIY installation, but it requires mechanical aptitude and potentially specialized tools. If you are not comfortable with suspension work, professional installation is advised.

What is the diameter of this anti-roll bar?

This specific model is 22mm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Clunking noise from the rear

Check that all mounting hardware, including links and bushings, are securely tightened to the correct torque specifications. Ensure polyurethane bushes are adequately lubricated.

Reduced performance or handling issues

Verify the adjustment setting is appropriate for the driving conditions. Ensure the anti-roll bar is correctly installed and that no other suspension components are damaged or worn.

Bar not fitting correctly

Double-check vehicle compatibility against the product description. Ensure all previous components have been fully removed and the new bar is oriented correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This bar is specifically designed for the BMW E36 chassis, including the M3 models. Ensure your vehicle's model year falls within the E36 range for proper fitment.

Installation: Installation involves removing the factory anti-roll bar and replacing it with the Whiteline unit. It is recommended to have the vehicle professionally aligned after installation, especially if significant changes to suspension geometry are made. Ensure all fasteners are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. The kit includes polyurethane mounting bushes; these may benefit from periodic lubrication (e.g., silicone-based lubricant) to prevent squeaking and ensure smooth operation. Always refer to the specific installation instructions provided with the kit.

Care: The powder-coated finish should be maintained by regular washing and waxing to prevent corrosion. Inspect bushings and mounting hardware periodically for wear or damage. Clean any dirt or debris from the bar and mounting points.
