The factory front sway bar mount bushings on the WRX, Impreza, and STI wear out and allow the bar to shift under load, softening handling response. This Whiteline W0405-18 front sway bar mount bushing kit uses a synthetic elastomer compound with a PTFE inner lining to lock the bar in place without requiring grease maintenance.

Why does my front sway bar feel loose?Worn factory mount bushings allow the sway bar to shift under load, reducing handling precision.
Do I need to grease this bushing kit?No, the PTFE inner lining eliminates the need for lubrication on installation.
How do I confirm my sway bar diameter before ordering?Measure the front sway bar directly, this kit is sized specifically for an 18mm bar.
Will this fit my WRX and my STI the same way?Yes, this bushing kit fits the listed WRX, Impreza, and STI applications using the same mounting design.
Is this a direct bolt in replacement?Yes, the W0405-18 uses the factory mounting location for a direct installation.
Will this reduce body roll?Yes, locking the sway bar in place with a firmer bushing improves body control and reduces roll during cornering.
Does this include mounting hardware?This kit includes the bushings only, factory mounting brackets and hardware are reused.
