Hardrace MQB AWD Rear Anti-Roll Bar

Transform your MQB All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle’s handling and eliminate unwanted body roll with the Hardrace MQB AWD Rear Anti-Roll Bar. This essential suspension upgrade significantly stiffens the rear suspension, leading to a flatter cornering stance, enhanced grip, and a more engaging driving experience.

Conquer Body Roll and Sharpen Handling

From spirited driving to track days, excessive body roll can compromise your vehicle’s performance by:

• Reducing Tire Contact Patch: As the car leans, the effective contact patch of the tires on the road decreases, leading to reduced grip.
• Slowing Response: The delay as the car “takes a set” in a corner before the suspension fully loads.
• Compromising Stability: A feeling of being less planted and stable, especially during quick transitions.

The Hardrace Rear Anti-Roll Bar (also known as a sway bar or sway bar) works by connecting the left and right sides of your vehicle’s rear suspension. As one side of the suspension compresses (e.g., in a turn), the anti-roll bar twists, resisting the motion and transferring force to the other side. This effectively counteracts body roll, keeping the chassis flatter through corners.

For AWD MQB vehicles, upgrading the rear anti-roll bar can also help to:

• Increase Rear Grip: By reducing body roll, the outside rear tire maintains better contact, leading to more effective power transfer and improved traction.
• Adjust Understeer/Oversteer Balance: A stiffer rear anti-roll bar can help reduce understeer (the tendency for the front of the car to push wide) and promote a more neutral or even slightly oversteer characteristic, making the car feel more agile and responsive.

Engineered for Performance and Durability

Hardrace is synonymous with high-quality, performance-driven suspension components. This Rear Anti-Roll Bar is no exception:

• High-Strength Steel Construction: Typically manufactured from robust steel alloy (often cold-formed or hollow tubular for optimal strength-to-weight ratio), ensuring exceptional rigidity and durability under extreme forces.
• Precision Bends & Fitment: Engineered specifically for the MQB AWD platform, guaranteeing a direct fit without interference with exhaust, driveshafts, or other components.
• Durable Powder-Coated Finish: Provides excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and road debris, ensuring a long lifespan even in challenging driving conditions.
• Included Bushings (where applicable): Often comes complete with high-quality, hardened rubber or polyurethane bushings and brackets, which offer superior resistance to deflection compared to OEM rubber, further enhancing the bar’s effectiveness.

Simple Upgrade, Significant Impact

Designed as a direct replacement for your factory rear anti-roll bar, installation is typically a straightforward bolt-on process. This makes the Hardrace MQB AWD Rear Anti-Roll Bar an accessible and highly effective upgrade for any enthusiast looking to dramatically improve their vehicle’s cornering ability and overall driving dynamics.
