Front Sway Bar + ALK installed in Tiguan

Thanks very much for that! He doesn't sound confident saying he's never done one before in a Tiguan. Seems pretty straight forward.

If you're just doing the rear I would consider the 22. If you were doing both I'd go the 24 front and back.

That's just my gut feel and based on having the 24 on the back of mine with the stock sway bar on the front. I think in this configuration the back is stiffer than the front.

You probably want to have it the other way around with front stiffer or at least balanced. That's my thoughts.

Also I wouldn't bother changing the front sway bar unless you were running it on the track.

Yea. Reading everyone's comments in the past and now yours as well, that the front stock bar is pretty good for general every day use, I'm thinking of changing the rear to the 22mm one too. Good to heat you've confirmed my thoughts and that helps my decision making. I want it balanced... And yes, if anything I'd prefer the front a tiny bit stiffer. But I'll leave the front stock...

Will call Pedders on Monday. Only thing is they would need to order one in as none of their other branches had any RSB in stock. $35 extra for freight...

Should have asked this before. How much would pedders charge for installing the WALK?

Best to ask your local guy. It's not a big job up on the hoist and 3 bolts each side. I'm not sure I would go Whiteline as the housing doesn't bolt up fantastically. I know Tiggy1 used some push on bushings with the stock housings. If I was to do it again I'd probably go this way but then you do end up destroying your stock bushing getting it out. So I guess it's line-ball if you intend reverting back to stock after - probably Whiteline is better in this case.

Thanks for that. I'll speak with the local pedders guy later and see how that pans out.

Sorry Tig!

I seem to have asked the exact same question in your other thread. My bad.

No problem. Looks like you found the info. Was just going to refer you to this thread anyway

So yes probably suggest the 22mm if you're just doing the rears but that's only my suggestion. I don't think the cost is that much different between 22 and 24mm sway bars. Will have to look again but there's possibly adjustable settings???

Both have adjustable settings and cost difference is only like 10-15bucks retail. GSL Rally has a promo now ending tonight selling these for just over 200 with the price difference between the two only a few bucks. But I want a more balanced feel so I'm putting the 22mm.

Apparently Whiteline is moving their production from Korean to Florida USA.
