Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Control Arm Lower Outer Bushing fits the 1989-1994 Geo Metro XFi. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: W61463. The chassis code on the listing is M-Platform. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Trim named on the listing: XFi.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 3 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Working on the same car? We also list 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts for the Metro.
Features
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
