Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Front Control Arm Bushing Kit - Double Offset fits the 2006-2014 Volkswagen Golf/GTI. It goes on the front of the vehicle. The kit contains 4 bushings, 2 washers, 2 tubes, 1 spanner, and 1 grease. It is listed for the PQ35 chassis. Part number KCA538. Whiteline's note for this fit: On car adjustable +/- 0.5 degrees camber.
Camber is the sideways lean of the wheel when viewed from the front. An offset control arm bushing places the pivot slightly off-center, which shifts the wheel's camber by a small, fixed amount without replacing the arm. On a lowered car that is often enough to bring the tires back toward an even footprint.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit, and Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
