Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit - Double Offset fits the 2007-2017 Jeep Patriot. You receive 2 shell bushings. Whiteline part number: W53383. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits Models 8/2002: on, adds 0.5 degrees caster. Lower inner rear bushing.
Caster is the forward or backward lean of the steering axis, and more positive caster generally helps stability and steering return. This control arm bushing is made to add positive caster and alter anti-dive geometry, using a bushing swap rather than a major rebuild.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 2.5 hours of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Patriot: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
