Ultra Racing 16mm rear anti-roll bar for Mazda MX-5 MK4 / ND and RF models listed in the compatibility table.
The Ultra Racing AR16-594 is an uprated rear anti-roll bar designed as an aftermarket chassis and handling upgrade for the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5.
The anti-roll bar links the left and right sides of the rear suspension and resists excessive body roll as the vehicle corners. The 16mm solid-steel construction is designed to increase rear roll stiffness and provide a more controlled chassis response during cornering and rapid changes of direction.

Installation notes:
Ultra Racing specifies AR16-594 as a bolt-on installation. The rear of the vehicle will need to be safely raised to access the mounting locations. Remove the existing anti-roll bar as required and install the Ultra Racing bar, bushes and brackets in the correct orientation.

Reassemble and tighten all mounting hardware to the appropriate vehicle or manufacturer specification.
