Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2008 Volkswagen R32 (1K). It goes on the rear of the vehicle. In the box: 2 bushings and 2 tubes. The part number is 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. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Volkswagen R32: Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
