New TMS OEM-Style Adjustable Sway Bar Links - Pair

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
USD 60.00

Item Interest
Turner Motorsport OEM-Style Adjustable Sway Bar Link

I have two new links available - $60 each.

This TMS swaybar link is adjustable to eliminate preload on the front sway bar in E46 and Z4 models. Preload is tension on the bar when the car is at rest on the ground. Ideally, the bar should be neutral with zero tension on both ends (no twist in the bar at rest). Preload comes from inconsistent side-side ride height (such as with coil overs), a bent swaybar, a bent strut housing, or a chassis with bent or skewed frame rails. The handling is affected with a preloaded sway bar so removing that tension will give you more consistent handling and response. Preloading can also lead to premature failure of the link ball joints.

To remove preload you only need an adjustable link on one side of the car. Install your stock swaybar link on one side, lower the car to the ground, adjust the Turner link to meet the swaybar hole on the other side, and tighten everything up. Never install both sway bar links with the tires off the ground. The TMS link is made from a stock HD swaybar link with an easily adjusted hex rod in the middle. The link can be used in place of BMW #31356780847 and 31351095694.

One link or two? Technically, the remove preload only one link is required. However, there may be cases where having two links is better. Having an adjustable link on both sides of the car will allow you to better position the front sway bar for clearance or when a different racing style coil over is used.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1999-2006 E46 BMW 323i 323ci 325i 325ci 328i 328ci 330i 330ci M3
2002-2008 E85 E86 BMW Z4 2.5 Z4 3.0 Z4 3.0i Z4 3.0si Z4 M Coupe Z4 M Roadster
