Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2002-2005 Volkswagen Passat W8. Position: front. Part number KCA422. The listing names the W8 trim. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adds +/- 0.5 degrees Caster. It is listed for the B5 chassis. The kit contains 2 shell bushings, 2 tubes, an install guide, and grease.
A standard bushing only restores what the factory built. This one is designed to change the geometry, adding positive caster and changing front anti-dive behavior, in addition to resisting the deflection that soft rubber allows.
Expect a difficult job of about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward.
Features
- Bonded design: Bonding adds durability in high-load use.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Finish: The metal parts are powder coated for durability.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
