Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Forward Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2016-2020 Kia Sorento. This part is for the front of the vehicle. Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. The part number is W53679.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. 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. An alignment is required after installation. Working on the same car? We also list 16mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts for the Sorento.
Features
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
