• Designed for FWD and AWD variants; verify AWD fitment before ordering
• Made in the USA - all Progress Tech sway bars are developed and manufactured in-house

Features

• 24mm alloy steel bar diameter is significantly larger than the OEM unit, delivering increased rear roll stiffness and reduced body lean
• Cold-formed in-house using precision CNC bending equipment for consistent geometry and exact fitment
• Laser-cut and CNC-machined bar ends are MIG-welded using precise fixtures for strength and accuracy
• Polyurethane bushings replace OEM rubber units for crisper turn-in response and longer service life
• Larger tire contact patch under cornering loads improves grip, traction, and driver confidence
• Reduces excessive understeer common in FWD vehicles by balancing chassis roll stiffness front-to-rear
• Direct bolt-on replacement - no drilling or modifications required
• Proudly designed and manufactured in the USA

Product Description

The Progress Tech 62.215 is a 24mm alloy steel rear sway bar engineered for the 2002-2008 Pontiac Vibe, 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla, and 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix. These vehicles share a common platform and suffer from the typical FWD tendency toward body roll and understeer under spirited cornering. Progress Tech's sport-tuned rear bar replaces the smaller OEM unit and rubber bushings with a stiffer 24mm alloy steel bar and polyurethane bushings, increasing rear roll stiffness to keep the tires flatter on the pavement and reduce the traction-robbing lean that comes with aggressive cornering.

Cold-formed and CNC-machined in-house, every bar is precision-built using laser-cut ends and MIG-welded fixtures for consistent geometry and a direct-fit installation. The polyurethane bushing upgrade delivers noticeably sharper turn-in response compared to worn OEM rubber. No drilling or modifications are required - bolt in and go. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
