EMPI Front Sway Bar — 3/4" for Ball Joint Beetle, Ghia & Thing

Stiffen up your front end and transform your VW's handling. The EMPI 3/4" Front Sway Bar upgrades the spindly stock 1/2" bar to a proper performance-grade anti-roll bar that controls body sway, reduces understeer, and prevents wheel hop under hard cornering.

Made from zinc-plated steel for durability and corrosion resistance, the bar includes red urethane bushings that resist sag and squeak — a major upgrade over the rubber bushings used on the OEM bar.

Highlights:

• 3/4" zinc-plated steel construction (50% larger than stock 1/2")
• Red urethane bushings for precise handling
• Drop-in fit using original or upgraded sway bar clamps
• Noticeable improvement in body roll control and turn-in response

Specifications:

• Part #: 9600
• Diameter: 3/4"
• Finish: Zinc plated steel
• Bushings: Red urethane (included)

Fitment:

• 1966-1977 VW Beetle (Ball Joint front end, standard width beam)
• 1966-1974 VW Karmann Ghia
• 1973-1974 VW Thing

Important Note:

Mounting clamps are not included. The bar installs with your original sway bar clamps, or upgrade to EMPI's stainless steel sway bar clamp kit (P/N 9692) — sold separately.

Pairs perfectly with our EMPI caster shim kits to complete the front-end tuning of your lowered VW.
