Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2009-2010 Subaru Forester XT. The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Trim named on the listing: XT. Position: front. Order it as part number W0506.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. An alignment is required after installation. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit for the Forester.
Features
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Finish: The metal is powder coated, which resists corrosion and wear.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
