Is the GTI rear ARB the same as a standard Golf?

(1/3) > >>

Hi. First post so be kind!  I have had a 55 plate GTI from new and just found that the rear anti roll bar has snapped. I thought the occasional clunk from the back was probably a droplink but no, the bar has snapped in two. I drove into a layby about 4 weeks ago with a VERY big pothole and I think that's probably what did it.
So I don't want to pay out for a brand new one and I am looking at getting a scrappie bar with new droplinks and bushes. Does anyone know if the GTI bar is the same as a standard one or is it uprated?  I will probably get it posted and I am trying to avoid getting it and then finding it doesn't fit.

Thanks

ETKA is quoting four variants for FWD Golf's, so might be worth trying to measure yours or it's a case of going by the PR codes  :happy2: I'm guessing the GTI would have one of the two thicker ones

jason_rmh:
I've listed this info with part nos in another thread if you can dig it out.
Most arbs are hollow, and differ in thickness.
GT / GTi models share the same one.
R models have solid arbs.
I think a Passat one can be fitted as an upgrade.

Ordered a GTI rear sway bar (suspension code PR-0BF) yesterday. My Golf already came from factory with the same front sway bar as the GTI. My rear sway bar has 20,7 mm x 2,8 mm (suspension code PR-0BE).
