Product Details

This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2000-2005 Subaru Outback Limited (BE/BH/BP). Whiteline part number: KCA399. Placement: rear. Chassis code: BE/BH/BP. Whiteline's note for this fit: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees. The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes.

Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.

Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Outback, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.

Features

  • Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
  • Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
  • Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
  • Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
  • Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
  • Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
