Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2011-2019 Volkswagen Beetle. The kit contains 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Order it as part number W0503. Placement: front. The chassis code on the listing is A5. Drivetrain: FWD.
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. 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. An alignment is required after installation. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit for the Beetle.
Features
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Material: Made from polyurethane.
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
- Finish: A powder coated finish resists corrosion and wear.
