Product Details
This Whiteline Front Upper and Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 1973-1979 Oldsmobile 98. Position: front. Included: 8 shell bushings, 8 tubes, and grease. It is listed for the B-Body chassis. Order it as part number W56430.
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.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 3 hours of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Oldsmobile 98: Ball Joint Boot Kit.

- Easy to fit: Designed so the install needs no specialized skills or tools.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
