Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2008 Saturn Astra XE, XR (A04). Trims named on the listing: XE and XR. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adds 0.5 degrees Caster. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Position: front. The chassis code on the listing is A04. Part number KCA382.
A standard bushing only restores what the factory built. This one is designed to change the geometry, adding positive caster and changing front anti-dive behavior, in addition to resisting the deflection that soft rubber allows.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 2.5 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Rear Sway Bar for the Astra.
Features
- Caster: Optimizes caster for better contact during roll and more stable steering.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
