Features

• Complete front and rear sway bar package - everything needed to upgrade both axles in one kit
• 22mm front sway bar (fixed) significantly increases front roll stiffness over the undersized OE bar for improved cornering balance
• 22mm rear sway bar (3-point adjustable) allows soft, medium, and hard rear stiffness tuning to suit street driving or more spirited use
• Forged blade ends on both bars provide maximum strength and durability at end link attachment points under lateral cornering loads
• Synthetic elastomer mount bushings with internal bore knurling and grease retention lips deliver long-term lubrication and reduced NVH
• Heavy-duty end links with ball joint ends that rotate to any angular combination, eliminating sway bar preload on installation

Product Description

The Whiteline BSK024 is a complete front and rear sway bar upgrade kit engineered specifically for the 2002-2008 Subaru Forester SG in naturally aspirated form. The factory sway bars on these vehicles are conservatively sized, allowing excessive body roll under cornering that reduces driver confidence and overall handling balance. This kit addresses both axles simultaneously - the fixed 22mm front bar increases front roll stiffness to sharpen turn-in, while the 3-point adjustable 22mm rear bar allows independent tuning of rear roll stiffness from a comfortable soft setting through to a firm handling-focused hard setting.

All hardware required for a complete installation is included: end links, mount bushings, brackets, U-bolts, and fasteners. The synthetic elastomer bushings with knurled bores and grease retention lips provide lasting performance without the squeaking and degradation associated with OE rubber. Forged bar ends and heavy-duty ball joint end links ensure the system performs reliably under sustained cornering loads. No wheel alignment is required after installation, though an experienced installer is recommended given the 4-hour estimated install time. Note that the BSK024 is for non-turbo SG models only - the turbocharged Forester XT uses a different kit (BSK003).
