The 034 Motorsport RS+ Adjustable Rear anti-roll bar has been developed for MQB AWD models that require sharper steering with less body roll and understeer. The solid steel anti-roll bar directly replaces the hollow original rear anti-roll bar and offers two adjustable settings.
Depending on the selected setting, the stabiliser is up to 171 per cent stiffer than the original Audi S3 8V / Golf 7 R stabiliser. This keeps the car flatter through corners, makes the rear end more responsive and creates a more neutral and playful handling character without unnecessarily compromising ride quality.
Suitable for various MQB AWD models, including the Audi A3 and S3 8V / 8Y Quattro, Audi Q3 F3 Quattro, Audi TT and TTS 8S Quattro, and the Volkswagen Golf 7 / 7.5 R, Golf Sportwagen AWD and Golf Alltrack. Not suitable for the Audi TTRS 8S, Audi RS3 8V.5, Audi RS3 8Y, Volkswagen Golf 8 R and the Audi S3 8Y.5 from 2025 onwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the two settings?
The soft setting is 144% stiffer than the original and offers a good balance for road use. The hard setting increases this to 171% for more direct and playful handling.
Does this stabiliser reduce understeer?
Yes. The stiffer rear stabiliser allows for more rear-end rotation and helps reduce understeer in MQB AWD models.
Do the bushings need to be lubricated regularly?
No. The Teflon-lined bushings are completely maintenance-free and must not be lubricated additionally.
Is an upgraded front stabiliser bar necessary?
No, this rear stabiliser bar can be used with or without an upgraded front stabiliser bar. For the sharpest cornering speed, 034 Motorsport recommends fitting the front stabiliser bar as well; if you want maximum rear-end rotation, keep the original front stabiliser bar.
Are different end links required?
Not compulsory, but 034 Motorsport recommends the Dynamic+ Adjustable Rear sway bar End Link Kit for maximum effectiveness.
What should I look out for with a lowered car?
With lowered cars, always check the free play over the full suspension travel to detect any potential interference.
