Manufactured from lightweight hollow-core 4130 chromoly steel with 3\/16 in. wall tubing, it delivers significantly more torsional stiffness than the factory bar without adding unnecessary weight. The 1-3\/8 in. diameter is precision-tuned for the torsional demands of this platform, reducing body roll during cornering and braking for a flatter, more controlled driving experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Installation uses the factory sway bar mounting locations for a true bolt-on fit, and the kit includes greaseable graphite polyurethane bushings and high-quality zinc-plated hardware for a complete, ready-to-install upgrade. The gloss black powder-coat finish adds durability and a clean appearance under the car. Whether you're building a street performance machine, a pro-touring restomod, or just refreshing a worn-out factory bar, the QA1 52877 is a direct-fit solution for the entire 1978-1988 GM A\/G-Body family and is an ideal complement to the QA1 52878 rear sway bar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QA1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53499712471359,"sku":"QAP52877","price":362.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/7308\/9343\/files\/1649e4ffed10e1b2e23878a845fda795L.jpg?v=1780440328","url":"https:\/\/wcaperformance.com\/products\/qa1-78-88-g-body-front-sway-bar-1-3-8in","provider":"WCA Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
