Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R (PQ35). The part number is W63550. Included: 2 bushings and 2 tubes. This part is for the rear of the vehicle.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Golf R: Front Lower Control Arm Set and Rear Engine Dogbone Mount Kit.
