Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2009 Subaru Outback 3.0 R Limited (BR). The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes. The part number is KCA399. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees.
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. 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. 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
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Camber adjustment: Helps hold the tire flatter on the road by correcting camber changes through roll.
- Finish: The metal is powder coated, which resists corrosion and wear.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
