Product Details
This Whiteline Front Gearbox Crossmember Pad Bushing fits the 2015-2016 Subaru WRX STI Limited (VA). The part number is KDT901. In the box: 4 bushings, an install guide, and grease. Placement: front. Trim named on the listing: Limited. Application note: Faster shift response: suits manual gearbox.
Gearbox mount bushings are an easy place for slack to build up. When the rubber compresses or splits, the transmission drops and moves under load, which can strain the driveline. Replacing it keeps the box located where it was designed to sit. 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 hours. It does not require a wheel alignment. To go with it on the WRX STI, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Bonded design: The bushing is bonded for extra strength under heavy loads.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
