Product Details
This page covers the Whiteline Front Gearbox Mount Bushing for the 2010 Subaru WRX STI Special Edition. It is listed for the GR/GV chassis. Trim named on the listing: Special Edition. Placement: front. In the box: 1 insert bushing. The part number is KDT956.
The transmission is held in the chassis by a mount that absorbs vibration. A soft or worn mount lets the gearbox rock when you shift or get on and off the throttle, which feels like a jerk, a clunk, or a delay. A firmer mount or bushing limits that motion. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. Application note: Inserts: suits 5 speed manual models, installs into voiding of original rear gearbox mount, positive gearbox location. To go with it on the WRX STI, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Rear Subframe Mount Bushing.
Features
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Insert design: The inserts go into the original bushing rather than replacing it.
- Bonded design: A bonded design adds strength for high load applications.
