034 Motorsport Sway Bar Front End Link Pair Audi A3/S3/RS3 8V/VW Golf 8R

034 Motorsport Sway Bar Front Adjustable End Link Pair Audi A3/S3/RS3 8V/VW Golf 8R MQB, and MQB EVO

Replace your flimsy, imprecise OEM sway bar end links with these performance engineered adjustable spherical endlinks from 034Motorsport! Designed to improve handling, road feel, and steering response, 034Motorsport's Billet Adjustable Front Sway Bar End Links allow for uncompromised transfer of suspension movement to the sway bar. These end link are also length adjustable to allow for lowered vehicles to maintain proper preload on the sway bar. 

Please Note: For lowered vehicles, always check all clearances over the full articulation of the suspension in order to identify possible interference. We recommend running 034Motorsport suspension components, as they have been designed and tested to work together, without interference.

What is Sway Bar Preload?

When a sway bar is preloaded, it means that it is already twisted when the car is at rest, and it’s trying to roll the car to one side because of this. This will lead to asymmetric behaviour and the car will favor tuning one way versus the other.

Preload is detectable when the car is at ride-height on a flat surface, and removal of an end link is difficult because the sway bar is already twisted and applying force on the bolt, or installing the endlink is difficult because the bar needs to be twisted to insert the bolt through the hole in the sway bar. With equal-length non-adjustable sway bar end links, removing preload is not possible.

By utilizing our 034Motorsport adjustable end links, the lengths of each endlink can be adjusted so that the endlink can be easily installed at ride-height without needing to twist the bar to get it to fit. Zero preload provides symmetrical handling in right and left turns.

Recommended Alignment:

034Motorsport RS3 track use alignment specs; these specifications are optimal for a track driven car with a very "loose" handling attitude and lively rear end that drives towards oversteer. Caution should be used with these alignment specs as they can cause the car to over-rotate and spin, especially during throttle-lift conditions while turning:

• Front: (Tires: 265/35-18 Michelin Sport Cup 2)
  • Camber: -3.0 degrees each side (034-601-1013 camber mounts)
  • Caster: 7.1 degrees (not adjustable)
  • Toe: 0.6mm (toe-in) each side

• Rear: (Tires: 245/40-18 Michelin Sport Cup 2)
  • Camber: -1.5 degrees each side
  • Toe: 0.8mm (toe-in) each side
