Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2004 Subaru Legacy L 35th Anniversary (BL/BP). Placement: rear. Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. The part number is KCA399. Whiteline's note for this fit: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Legacy: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Finish: Powder coating covers the metal for protection against chips and rust.

- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
