Product Details
This Whiteline Front Upper Shock Absorber Bushing Kit fits the 1996-1999 Acura SLX. Order it as part number W31487. Chassis code: UBS25. The kit contains 4 bushings. This part is for the front of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits gas shocks.
A shock absorber is mounted through bushings at its ends. When the rubber is worn, the shock can move or knock in its mount, and its damping force is not delivered cleanly to the suspension. New bushings keep the shock located. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect an easy job of about 1 hour. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Acura SLX, see Front Sway Bar Link, Front Upper Control Arm Bushing Kit, and Rear Sway Bar Link (80-320mm Length).
Features
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Easy to fit: Made with the installer in mind, so it goes in without special equipment.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
