Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Subframe Mount Bushing fits the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 Base, GT. Trims named on the listing: Base and GT. Order it as part number W93165. You receive 8 bushings, 4 tubes, an install guide, and grease. It goes on the rear of the vehicle.
The rear subframe is the cradle that the rear suspension arms bolt to, and the car is attached to it through rubber mounts that are soft on purpose. That softness lets the subframe shift under hard cornering or acceleration, which dulls the feel of the rear end. A firmer bushing set holds the subframe in position, so the rear responds more directly to steering and throttle.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 4 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Pontiac G8: Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing.
Features
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Finish: Powder coating covers the metal for protection against chips and rust.
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
