TT Rear sway bar

Your TT

Pick your year to see what fits.

There was no 2007 TT in the US. The 225, 3.2 and TTS are always quattro, and every TT from 2010 on is quattro.

Why do it

A stiffer rear bar cuts body roll and helps the nose turn in, which tames the Mk1's natural understeer.

    • Grease the bushings and lift the new bar into place.
    Watch this step (5:05–8:28)
  3. Tighten everything

How to know it worked

Did this guide work for you?

Safety first

  • Park on flat ground, set the parking brake and chock the wheels.
  • Never get under a car held up only by a jack. Use jack stands.
  • Let the engine and exhaust cool first.
  • Disconnect the battery before unplugging electrical parts.
  • Wear safety glasses.
  • If something doesn't match your car, stop and ask a shop.

Follow your part's instructions and your service manual's torque specs.
