Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing fits the 2017-2020 Audi RS 3. Placement: front. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. It is listed for the 8V chassis. 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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a difficult job of about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the RS 3, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Finish: The metal is powder coated, which resists corrosion and wear.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
