Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Control Arm Lower Rear Outer Bushing fits the 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Order it as part number W63554. Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Golf R, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
