Product Details
For the 2016 Volkswagen Golf/GTI, Whiteline makes the Front Lower Outer Camber Adjustable Roll Center Correcting Performance Ball Joint Kit. This part is for the front of the vehicle. The kit contains 2 ball joints. The part number is KCA472. It is listed for the AU chassis.
Ball joints carry a big share of the car's weight and the loads from steering and braking. A worn one lets the wheel shift out of position, so replacing it restores precise steering and keeps alignment settings from drifting. The camber adjustability in the name means the joint lets an alignment shop move the camber setting, which a standard joint cannot. The roll center correcting design is aimed at lowered cars, where the stock geometry no longer sits in range.
Whiteline's note for this fit: Reduces roll/bump steer: essential for lowered cars. Brake rotor clearance is reduced: attention required when fitting with brake upgrades. Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing.
Features
- Warranty: Whiteline backs it with a warranty listed at 3 years and 60,000 miles.
