Product Details

This Whiteline Rear Subframe Mount Bushing (Inserts Only) fits the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. The kit contains 8 insert bushings, an install guide, and grease. The chassis code on the listing is Zeta. Position: rear. Whiteline's note for this fit: Installs into voiding of original front and rear bushings: reduces axle tramp. The part number is W93166. Trim named on the listing: GXP.

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. Whiteline also notes that it helps reduce axle tramp.

Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Working on the same car? We also list Rear Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit for the Pontiac G8.

Features

  • Bonded design: The bushing is bonded for strength where loads are highest.
  • 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.
  • Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
  • Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
  • Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
