Overview:
Hotchkis Sway Bars for the 2008–2015 Scion xB2 are engineered to significantly reduce body roll and enhance handling precision. Designed specifically for the redesigned second-generation Scion xB, this front and rear sway bar set transforms your vehicle’s cornering capabilities, delivering a balanced and confident driving experience on both street and track. Enthusiasts seeking improved steering response and chassis control will appreciate the distinct handling advantage provided by these performance suspension upgrades.
While the factory suspension on the Scion xB2 offers a comfortable ride, it exhibits notable body roll during aggressive cornering. Hotchkis addresses this by providing a complete sway bar package that virtually eliminates unwanted lateral movement, allowing for quicker directional changes and a more composed chassis feel without sacrificing ride quality.
Key Features:
This Hotchkis sway bar set combines durability and performance with thoughtful engineering to optimize your Scion xB2’s suspension dynamics:
- Front sway bar constructed from lightweight, durable 32mm (1 1/4") tubular steel, offering 50% more stiffness than the stock front sway bar
- Rear sway bar made from 25mm (1") tubular steel for balanced rear roll stiffness
- Includes Hotchkis-exclusive polyurethane bushings that provide long-lasting durability and reduced deflection
- Heavy-duty triangle bushing brackets for secure mounting and enhanced stability
- Welded-on centering rings to maintain precise sway bar positioning
- Gloss anthracite powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance
- Zerk fittings incorporated for easy lubrication and maintenance
Construction & Design:
Hotchkis sway bars are meticulously crafted from high-quality tubular steel to ensure strength and reduced weight compared to factory components. The front bar’s 32mm diameter and rear bar’s 25mm diameter are carefully selected to provide a balanced increase in roll stiffness front-to-rear, preserving the Scion xB2’s natural handling characteristics while enhancing overall chassis control.
The polyurethane bushings are engineered to resist wear and maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions, while the heavy-duty mounting brackets ensure the sway bars remain securely positioned. The powder-coated finish not only protects against corrosion but also adds a refined aesthetic to the suspension components.
