AE86 Whiteline 20mm 3-Point Adjustable Rear Sway Bar (1983-87 Corolla)

Whiteline 20mm 3-Point Adjustable Rear Sway Bar

For 1983–1987 Toyota Corolla Levin / Sprinter Trueno AE86 & 1985–1987 Toyota Corolla Sport SR5 / GT-S AE86

Overview

The Whiteline 20mm 3-Point Adjustable Rear Sway Bar is a vehicle-specific suspension upgrade for Toyota AE86 applications. Its solid spring-steel construction increases rear roll stiffness to help reduce body roll, keep the chassis flatter through corners, and improve handling response during rapid direction changes.

Three adjustment positions allow rear roll stiffness to be tuned without replacing the bar. This makes the Whiteline setup well suited to AE86 owners who want flexibility for street driving, spirited use, autocross, or track-oriented suspension setups.

Key Features

• 20 mm solid spring-steel rear sway bar
• 3-point adjustable design for rear roll-stiffness tuning
• Helps reduce rear body roll during cornering
• Allows handling balance to be adjusted for different driving conditions
• Approximately 19 mm, 20 mm, and 21 mm equivalent stiffness references
• Vehicle-specific design for Toyota AE86 applications
• Rear suspension application
• Includes sway bar links, bushings, mounting plates, and installation hardware

Sway Bar Adjustment

The three mounting positions change the sway bar's effective lever arm and therefore its torsional stiffness. The bar itself remains physically 20 mm in diameter; the approximate diameter references below are used to illustrate the relative stiffness of each position.

• Soft: Approximately 19 mm equivalent rate; more compliant setting for street or lower-grip driving
• Medium: Approximately 20 mm equivalent rate; balanced setting for general road use
• Hard: Approximately 21 mm equivalent rate; firmest setting for increased rear roll control

Adjust both sides to the same adjustment position when setting the sway bar.

Whiteline's diameter-conversion guide describes a 3-point adjustable bar as approximately 1 mm softer than its nominal diameter at the soft position and 1 mm firmer at the hard position; Whiteline notes that these comparisons are indicative rather than literal diameter changes.

Whiteline vs. CUSCO 20mm Rear Sway Bar

Both the Whiteline 20mm Rear Sway Bar and CUSCO 20mm Rear Sway Bar increase rear roll stiffness on Toyota AE86 applications, but the main difference is adjustability.

The Whiteline 20mm Rear Sway Bar uses a 3-point adjustable design, allowing rear roll stiffness to be changed to suit different driving conditions, suspension setups, and handling preferences.

The CUSCO 20mm Rear Sway Bar uses a fixed-rate design, making it better suited to owners who want a straightforward rear sway bar upgrade with a consistent setting and no adjustment required.

• Whiteline 20mm Adjustable: Best for suspension tuning flexibility
• CUSCO 20mm Fixed: Best for simplicity and a consistent fixed-rate setup

If you prefer a non-adjustable setup, see the CUSCO 20mm rear sway bar listing.
