Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 1998-2005 Lexus GS300 (S160). Whiteline's note for this fit: Fits inner position of the front forward lower (#1) control arm. The chassis code on the listing is S160. It goes on the front of the vehicle. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Whiteline part number: W53643.
A control arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2 hours. An alignment is required after installation. Working on the same car? We also list Rear Adjustable Toe Control Arms, Rear Differential Bushing - Front Mount Kit, and Rear Lower Inner Front Control Arm Bushing Kit for the GS300.
Features
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
