Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Inner Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 (Zeta). The part number is W63672. Position: rear. In the box: 4 shell bushings.
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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Pontiac G8: Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
