Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2015-2026 Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The part number is W53660. You receive 2 shell bushings. Placement: front.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 4 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 Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
