Product Details

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.
Whiteline rates the install as easy and lists about 2 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the Audi S3, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Material: Made from polyurethane.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
