Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing fits the 2004-2012 Volvo S40. The part number is W53528. In the box: 2 housings and 4 bolts. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Replacement: includes new housing. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Chassis code: P1.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated easy, with about 2 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the Volvo S40, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Finish: An E-coat finish protects the metal from corrosion.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Easy to fit: Made with the installer in mind, so it goes in without special equipment.
