Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2006-2009 Subaru Outback (BP/BR). In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Whiteline's note for this fit: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees. Order it as part number KCA399. Position: rear.
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.
Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Outback: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Camber adjustment: Aims to keep camber in an effective range as the body rolls.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
