Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2000-2008 Subaru Outback Base (BE/BH/BP/BR). It goes on the rear of the vehicle. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Part number KCA399. Whiteline's note for this fit: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit for the Outback.

- Material: Polyurethane construction.
