Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Inner Control Arm Bushing fits the 2013-2014 Volkswagen Jetta (5K). Position: rear. The part number is W63549. In the box: 2 bushings and 2 tubes.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 3 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the Jetta, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Finish: The metal is powder coated, which resists corrosion and wear.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
