Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2010-2021 Volkswagen Golf/GTI Base. Position: front. Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Whiteline part number: W0503. Listed for FWD cars. Trim named on the listing: Base.
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. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Golf/GTI: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Finish: The metal is powder coated, which resists corrosion and wear.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
