Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2005-2006 Subaru Outback R, XT (BP). Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Placement: rear. 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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 3 hours. An alignment is required after installation. 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

- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
