Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2008-2018 Volkswagen Jetta S, SE, SEL. This part is for the front of the vehicle. The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes. This listing is for FWD models. The listing names the S, SE, and SEL trims. Whiteline part number: W0503.
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.
Expect a difficult job of about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Jetta, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
