Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Subframe Mount Bushing fits the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. Whiteline part number: W93165. The listing names the GXP trim. The kit contains 8 bushings, 4 tubes, an install guide, and grease. The chassis code on the listing is Zeta. Position: rear.
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. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the Pontiac G8, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing.
