Product Details
This Whiteline Front Upper and Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 1984-1996 Chevrolet Corvette (C4). The part number is W56419. It goes on the front of the vehicle. You receive 14 bushings, 8 tubes, and grease.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Corvette: Ball Joint Boot Kit, Rear Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit, and Rear Differential Mount Bushing Kit.
Features
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Serviceable: A grease fitting is included, so the part can be re-greased as it ages.
