Second Hand Volkswagen ID.5 Anti Roll Bar

Yes, the ID.5 does have anti-roll bars — typically one at the front axle and one at the rear, as part of its multi-link suspension setup. Being an electric vehicle, the ID.5 uses conventional steel anti-roll bars to manage body roll despite its battery-weight differences from combustion-engined cars. If you are sourcing a used one, make sure you specify front or rear when contacting a breaker.

The Volkswagen ID.5 launched in the UK in 2022 and is based on the MEB platform, and no significant mid-cycle structural revision to the suspension mounting points had been confirmed at the time of writing for that early production window. That said, subtle running-gear changes can occur across model years without a formal facelift, so you should confirm the part number against your exact registration with the breaker before purchasing. Never assume fitment based on year alone.

This is an important question for the ID.5 because it is available in rear-wheel-drive single-motor variants and the higher-power GTX dual-motor four-wheel-drive variant, and the additional front motor on the GTX means it has a different front subframe and suspension arrangement compared to the rear-wheel-drive models. It is therefore quite possible that the front anti-roll bar in particular differs between RWD and GTX versions, so you must confirm which drivetrain your car has and quote that to the breaker. The rear anti-roll bar fitment across variants is also worth checking directly with the breaker against your registration.

Trim level alone — such as Life or Style — does not typically affect anti-roll bar fitment, as these trims share the same basic suspension architecture on the same drivetrain. The GTX is the exception worth flagging, but that is down to its different four-wheel-drive mechanical layout rather than its trim designation as such. Tell the breaker your trim and drivetrain and let them cross-reference the part number to be sure.

The ID.4 and ID.5 share Volkswagen's MEB platform and have closely related suspension layouts, so there is a reasonable chance some anti-roll bar components are shared, particularly on matching drivetrain variants. However, body and weight distribution differences between the two models mean you should not assume interchangeability without checking part numbers. Ask a breaker to compare the part numbers from both vehicles against your registration before committing to a purchase.

Make sure you specify front or rear, and confirm whether your car is the single-motor rear-wheel-drive or the dual-motor GTX, as these are the factors most likely to affect which bar you need. The anti-roll bar will usually come without the drop links and bushes, which are wear items worth replacing at the same time — check with the breaker whether these are included. Always verify the part number against your vehicle's registration before agreeing a sale.
