Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf R. The kit contains 2 shell bushings. Part number W53660. Position: front.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 4 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the Golf R, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit.
Features
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
