Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2005-2008 Subaru Outback R L.L. Bean Edition (BP). This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Application note: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees. Order it as part number KCA399. Included: 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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
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
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Camber adjustment: Helps keep camber in range so the tire holds its footprint through a corner.
- Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
