Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing fits the 2015-2020 Audi A3 (8V). In the box: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. Placement: rear. Order it as part number W63579.
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. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the Audi A3, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features

- Bonded design: Bonding adds durability in high-load use.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
