Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Lower Shock Absorber Bushing fits the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. The listing names the GXP trim. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. Part number W33168. In the box: 4 bushings, 2 tubes, and grease.
A shock absorber is mounted through bushings at its ends. When the rubber is worn, the shock can move or knock in its mount, and its damping force is not delivered cleanly to the suspension. New bushings keep the shock located. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Pontiac G8: Rear Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
Features
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
