Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit (KTA252) fits the 2015-2020 Audi A3. This part is for the front of the vehicle. Application note: Service Kit: Suits Whiteline KTA252 control arms. It is listed for the 8V chassis. You receive 2 shell bushings, 4 bushings, and 2 tubes. The part number is KSK131.
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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 4 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the Audi A3, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
