Features

• 2-position adjustable end link mounting points allow fine-tuning of front roll stiffness to suit street or performance driving preferences
• 27mm diameter - significantly larger than the OEM front sway bar - delivers a measurable increase in lateral stiffness and cornering grip
• Reduces front body roll for flatter, more neutral cornering behavior without affecting straight-line ride comfort
• Can be used to tune front-end understeer or oversteer balance in combination with a rear sway bar upgrade
• Precision forged ends with smooth, machined-like finish for precise end link geometry and consistent load transfer
• Crafted from special (hf) 50CrV4 high-tensile spring steel - the highest tensile strength available in H&R's sway bar program
• Shot-peened and heat-treated for maximum fatigue resistance and long service life
• Includes H&R exclusive urethane/Teflon composite sway bar bushings - squeak-free and lubrication-free for the life of the bar
• Epoxy powder-coated for long-term corrosion resistance

Product Description

The H&R 70340 is a 27mm adjustable front sport sway bar engineered for the MQB-platform AWD applications shared by the 2015-2020 Audi A3 Quattro and S3, 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf R, 2017-2019 Golf Alltrack, 2019-2023 Arteon 4MOTION, and 2018-2023 Tiguan 4MOTION. At 27mm, this bar is substantially stiffer than the OEM front stabilizer bar, increasing the front suspension's resistance to roll during cornering and delivering a noticeably flatter, more composed feel through turns. The 2-position adjustable end link mounting holes allow the driver to select between two stiffness settings - making it possible to tune the front-to-rear roll balance for either a neutral or mildly understeering characteristic, depending on driving style or road surface.

Unlike a lowering spring upgrade, a sway bar upgrade has virtually no impact on straight-line ride comfort or ride height - it only activates under lateral load. This makes the H&R 70340 an ideal first step for drivers who want a meaningful handling improvement without any compromise in daily drivability. The bar works with the factory end links and mounting points, requiring no modification to the subframe or chassis. H&R's proprietary urethane/Teflon composite bushing inserts are pre-installed and are engineered to be permanently lubrication-free, eliminating the creaking and maintenance issues common with standard polyurethane sway bar bushings.

Manufactured entirely in Germany from special (hf) 50CrV4 high-tensile spring steel, the H&R 70340 is shot-peened and heat-treated for long-term durability, then powder-coated for corrosion protection. It carries full TUV approval, meets ISO 9001 manufacturing standards, and is covered by H&R's Lifetime Warranty - the same warranty that applies to all H&R sway bars. For drivers looking to maximize chassis balance on their MQB AWD platform, H&R offers a companion rear sway bar (71340) and a complete front and rear kit (72340) that pairs this front bar with a 25mm non-adjustable rear bar.
