Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2001-2009 Toyota Prius Base. It is listed for the NHW11/NHW20 chassis. The listing names the Base trim. Placement: front. Order it as part number W51724. You receive 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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Prius, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, 15mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Heavy Duty 22mm Rear Sway Bar.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
