Alltrack Rear Sway Bar Upgrade

Anybody know much about it?

When I try looking up the stock Alltrack part online, it gives two possible sway bars - one is a 21.7mm with 3mm wall, and the other is simply given as 19.7mm. I'm not sure why there would be two parts for the Alltrack - is it different between different trim levels? If the 19.7 is presumed to be solid, it would actually be stiffer than the 21.7mm bar when you plug it into a torsion calculator.

I would think the Golf R sway bar at 21.7mm and 3.6mm wall thickness would be a logical upgrade, but it's only 10% stiffer torsionally than the 21.7mm stock with 3.0mm wall thickness. Is that enough difference in torsional stiffness to make a noticeable impact on handling?

What other not too expensive options are there for the Alltrack?

Visit ECS Tuning and look up your car.
They should list any options.

If you're racing yes you can notice. I don't think you would just going around town

Bumping this thread as I confirmed that my wife's Alltrack S has the 21.7mm rear bar, same diameter as Golf R OEM bar. You can tell the Alltrack or any all wheel drive bar as it's got multiple bends across its length to clear the rear diff and exhaust while 2wd versions are much straighter. HTH

crawl under the car and snap a photo of the part number. Easiest way to answer what size it is.

I have 034 rear bar and endlinks. Quality parts, made a huge difference

The rear swaybar was a noticable change for my GTI when driving on higher speed curvy roads here in Tennessee. In the Alltrack I would think it might help keep rear sway down in the heavier car. I think worth a try.
