Product Details
This Whiteline Front Upper and Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 1975-1976 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. Placement: front. The part number is W56430. The kit contains 8 shell bushings, 8 tubes, and grease.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward.
Features
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
