Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing (Anti-Lift/Caster) fits the 2010-2012 Volkswagen Passat CC. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adds +0.5 degrees Caster + Anti-Lift. The kit contains 2 housings. Chassis code: NMS. Part number KCA316. This part is for the front of the vehicle.
Caster is the forward or backward lean of the steering axis, and more positive caster generally helps stability and steering return. This control arm bushing is made to add positive caster and alter anti-dive geometry, using a bushing swap rather than a major rebuild.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Passat CC, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Rear Sway Bar.
Features
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Anodized alloy: An anodized coating protects the alloy from corrosion and wear.
- Bump steer: Helps cut bump steer for steadier steering over bumps.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Caster: Optimizes caster for better contact during roll and more stable steering.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
