Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing (34.7mm OD) fits the 1993-1998 Hyundai Sonata GL. The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Order it as part number W51988. The listing names the GL trim. Placement: front.
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 difficult job of about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Sonata: Front Sway Bar Washer Kit and Front Sway Bar Link Kit - Upgrade.
Features
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
