Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2001-2003 Subaru Outback VDC (BE/BH). Whiteline's note for this fit: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. You receive 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Part number KCA399.
A control arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. 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. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing for the Outback.
Features
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Camber adjustment: Helps hold the tire flatter on the road by correcting camber changes through roll.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
