EMPI Rear Performance Sway Bar | VW Type 2 Bus (1968-1979)

Transform the handling of your vintage VW with the EMPI Performance Rear Sway Bar Kit.

Designed specifically for the 1968-1979 Type 2 Bus with I.R.S. (Independent Rear Suspension), this kit is the ultimate solution for the "top-heavy" feel common in Bay Window buses. By significantly reducing body roll and preventing wheel lift during hard cornering, this sway bar ensures your Bus stays planted, predictable, and much more fun to drive.

Why Upgrade to the EMPI Kit?

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from massive 7/8" cold-formed steel to provide maximum torsional rigidity.

• Superior Response: Equipped with Red Urethane mounting bushings that offer a stiffer, more immediate response than stock rubber—and they won't rot or crack over time.

• Corrosion Resistance: Features zinc-plated steel hardware and components to ensure a long-lasting, professional finish that stands up to the elements.

• Complete Bolt-On Solution: Everything you need for a successful installation is in the box. No hunting for extra nuts or bolts.
