EMPI Performance Front Sway Bar — 7/8" Steel (Type 2 Bus)
Take control of your Bus's handling with the EMPI Performance Front Sway Bar. This heavy-duty upgrade is engineered specifically for 1955–1967 Type 2 Volkswagens, providing a significant improvement in stability and road feel. By reducing body roll and keeping the tires planted during hard cornering, it transforms the driving dynamics of a vintage Split Window Bus and makes it feel far more planted at highway speeds.
Each bar is manufactured from heavy 7/8" steel with zinc-plated components for long-lasting corrosion resistance. The kit includes high-visibility red urethane mounting bushings, which offer much sharper feedback and durability than traditional rubber.
