SF and SG Forester Coverage
Both the SF (1998-2002) and SG (2003-2008) Forester generations use compatible rear sway bar mount geometry for 22mm bar applications. One kit covers both platform generations — practical for owners or shops working across the Forester lineup.
Correct Diameter Matters
Sway bar mount bushings must match the bar diameter exactly for correct installation. The 22mm spec is correct for Whiteline’s BSR35Z and BSR35XZ rear bars as well as OEM and other 22mm aftermarket bars on these platforms.
Mount Condition and Bar Performance
Worn or damaged rear sway bar mount hardware reduces the bar’s effectiveness. Fresh mounts with polyurethane bushings ensure the bar stays in its designed position and delivers its rated roll stiffness consistently.
Why Choose Whiteline
Whiteline has been engineering suspension components from their facility in Australia since 1979. Every product in their catalog is developed with a clear goal: measurable improvement in handling, stability, and tyre contact. Whiteline’s polyurethane bushings, sway bars, control arms, and alignment correction kits are engineered using finite element analysis and validated on track before they reach the market. Their components are direct-fit, bolt-on solutions designed for enthusiasts who want real performance gains without fabrication or custom work.
The RallySport Take
The complete 22mm rear mount kit for the SF/SG Forester. Correct spec, correct coverage, correct hardware. Installation is a straightforward bar swap — remove the OEM bar, install the Whiteline unit with the provided polyurethane mount bushings, connect the endlinks. Start in the middle adjustment position and move from there. Adjustable endlinks are a worthwhile companion purchase if the car has been lowered, ensuring the bar operates at zero preload at the new ride height.
