Product Details
Made to fit the 2017 Volkswagen Golf/GTI (AU), the Front Lower Outer Camber Adjustable Roll Center Correcting Performance Ball Joint Kit from Whiteline. The kit contains 2 ball joints. The part number is KCA472. Placement: front.
A loose ball joint can be felt as a vague front end and heard as a knock over bumps. It is also a load-bearing part of the suspension, so a worn joint is worth replacing rather than living with. 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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Application note: Reduces roll/bump steer: essential for lowered cars. Brake rotor clearance is reduced: attention required when fitting with brake upgrades. 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: Comes with a Whiteline warranty, listed at 3 years and 60,000 miles.
