Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Subframe Mount Bushing (Inserts Only) fits the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 Base, GT. The chassis code on the listing is Zeta. The part number is W93166. The listing names the Base and GT trims. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. In the box: 8 insert bushings, an install guide, and grease. Application note: Installs into voiding of original front and rear bushings: reduces axle tramp.
Rubber subframe mounts compress and stretch every time the car loads up, and the subframe moves with them. Reducing that lost motion tends to show up as steadier tracking and a more immediate rear end in corners. Whiteline also notes that it helps reduce axle tramp.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 2.5 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Pontiac G8, see Rear Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
Features
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Bonded design: Bonding adds durability in high-load use.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
