Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2004-2013 Audi A3 Quattro (8P). In the box: 2 bushings and 2 tubes. Placement: rear. Part number W63550.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Audi A3: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
