Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing (55mm Long) fits the 2000-2004 Subaru Outback Base, Limited. The listing names the Base and Limited trims. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: W51709A. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit for the Outback.
Features
- Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
