Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Forward Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2015-2019 Kia Soul EV. The chassis code on the listing is PS. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. This part is for the front of the vehicle. The listing names the EV trim. Part number W53679.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Soul: 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts.
Features
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
