Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2017-2019 Volkswagen Golf/GTI Alltrack. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: W53660. It is listed for the MQB chassis. The listing names the Alltrack trim. In the box: 2 shell bushings.
A control arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a difficult job of about 4 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Golf/GTI: Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
