Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Inner Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2005 Mazda 3 SP23 (BK). Included: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. Application note: Suits cast arm. On-car adjustable allows +/-1.0 degrees Camber. Order it as part number KCA394. This part is for the rear of the vehicle.
Camber is the sideways lean of the wheel when viewed from the front. An offset control arm bushing places the pivot slightly off-center, which shifts the wheel's camber by a small, fixed amount without replacing the arm. On a lowered car that is often enough to bring the tires back toward an even footprint.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link for the Mazda 3.
Features
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- 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.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Camber adjustment: Aims to keep camber in an effective range as the body rolls.
