Stop Rear-End Body Roll Without Touching Ride Height
The factory rear sway bar on the Mk5 Jetta is tuned for a soft, comfort-first ride, which means noticeable body roll the moment you push into a corner. The SuperPro SPRRC0005RZ-22 rear sway bar kit swaps in a 22mm hollow bar with an adjustable end link mount, letting you dial in stiffness without lowering the car or altering your suspension geometry.
Key Features
- 22mm hollow rear sway bar with a 30-50 percent stiffness increase over the factory bar
- Adjustable end link mounting positions let you fine-tune roll stiffness to your driving style
- SPRRC0005RZ-22 bolts into the factory mounting points with no drilling or cutting required
- Reduces body roll and improves steering response through hard cornering
- Works independently of ride height, so it pairs cleanly with factory springs or coilovers
- Includes SuperPro polyurethane bushings at all mounting points for a firmer, longer-lasting connection than rubber

FAQ
What is the SPRRC0005RZ-22?The SPRRC0005RZ-22 is a SuperPro 22mm adjustable rear sway bar kit for the Mk5 Volkswagen Jetta that reduces body roll by 30 to 50 percent over the factory bar.
Does this sway bar require lowering the car?No, the SPRRC0005RZ-22 bolts to the factory mounting points and works at stock ride height, though it also functions normally with lowering springs or coilovers.
What does the adjustable end link position actually change?Moving the end link to a different hole position changes the effective leverage on the bar, letting you increase or decrease stiffness without swapping parts.
Will this sway bar make the ride harsher on rough roads?A stiffer rear sway bar increases body control in corners but does add some firmness over rough pavement, which is the expected tradeoff for reduced roll.
Do I need an alignment after installing this sway bar?No, a sway bar swap does not change suspension geometry, so a full alignment is not required, though it is good practice after any suspension work.
Is this kit covered under warranty?Yes, SuperPro backs its polyurethane bushings with a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, including vehicles used for spirited street driving or track days.
Can this be installed with basic hand tools?Yes, most installers can complete this swap in under two hours using basic hand tools and a jack and jack stands, without needing a lift.
Does this sway bar fit other Volkswagen or Audi models on the same platform?SuperPro produces this bar for the broader Mk5/Mk6 platform including the Rabbit, GTI, and GLI, but this listing is scoped specifically to the 2005-2009 Jetta.
Install Instructions
- Raise and safely support the rear of the vehicle on jack stands
- Remove the factory rear sway bar end links and mounting bracket bolts

- Position the new bar in place and reinstall the mounting brackets, torquing to factory specification
- Reconnect the end links at your chosen adjustable position
- Lower the vehicle and cycle the suspension to confirm clearance and no contact with other components
