Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. Chassis code: Delta II. Part number W53431. Trim named on the listing: Diesel. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes.
A control arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 2.5 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Cruze, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 22mm Rear Sway Bar.
Features
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Material: Made from polyurethane.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Finish: A powder coated finish resists corrosion and wear.
