Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Control Arm Lower Outer Bushing fits the 1989-1997 Geo Metro Base, LSi. Whiteline part number: W61463. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The listing names the Base and LSi trims.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts for the Metro.
Features
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
