Product Information
Full details
This guide is for vehicle owners looking to enhance their car's handling and reduce body roll, particularly during spirited driving or track use. The Whiteline Heavy Duty Rear Anti-Roll Bar Mount Kit offers a significant improvement in cornering stiffness and steering response by replacing stock rubber mounts with stiffer aluminum ones and upgraded bushings. A potential caveat is that the increased stiffness may transmit more road imperfections into the cabin.

FAQs
Will this kit fit my specific car model?
The KBR21-24 is specifically designed for certain vehicle applications. Please check the product's compatibility list or consult with a Whiteline dealer to confirm fitment for your exact make, model, and year.
Do I need to upgrade my anti-roll bar as well?
No, this kit is designed to work with your original factory anti-roll bar. However, it is also compatible with most aftermarket anti-roll bars that use the OEM mounting style.
How difficult is the installation process?
Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and tools. It involves working under the vehicle. If you are not comfortable with suspension components, professional installation is recommended.
What is the primary benefit of using stiffer mounts?
Stiffer mounts reduce flex in the anti-roll bar system, leading to a more direct transfer of forces. This results in reduced body roll during cornering and improved steering response.
Will this kit make my ride uncomfortable?
Yes, the increased stiffness can lead to a firmer ride and potentially transmit more road imperfections and noise into the cabin. This is a trade-off for improved handling performance.
What material are the mounts made from?
The mounts in this kit are made from high-strength, forged aluminum.
Troubleshooting
Clunking noise from the rear after installation
Ensure all bolts and hardware are tightened to the correct torque specifications. Verify the anti-roll bar is correctly seated within the new mounts and bushings.
No noticeable change in handling
Confirm the kit was installed on the correct side (rear) and that it is compatible with your specific vehicle model. Check that the anti-roll bar itself is functioning correctly.
Excessive vibration felt in the cabin
This is a known characteristic of stiffer suspension components. Ensure the vehicle's alignment is correct. Consider if the trade-off between performance and comfort is acceptable for your driving needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves lifting the vehicle, accessing the rear anti-roll bar mounts, and unbolting the original components. The new aluminum mounts and upgraded bushings are then fitted, ensuring all hardware is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. It is recommended to have this installation performed by a qualified mechanic if you are not experienced with suspension work.
Compatibility: This kit (KBR21-24) is designed to be compatible with the factory rear anti-roll bar for applicable Whiteline applications. It will also work with most aftermarket anti-roll bars that are designed to use the OEM mounting points and diameter.
Care: The aluminum components are finished to resist corrosion. Regular visual inspection for any signs of damage or wear is recommended. Clean with mild soap and water if necessary. Ensure bushings remain properly lubricated if required by the specific bushing material.
