Product Details
For the 2001-2003 Subaru Outback VDC, Whiteline makes the Rear Control Arm Service Kit. Part number KSK124. The listing names the VDC trim. Application note: Service kit to suit Whiteline control arms KTA124. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Chassis code: BE/BH. In the box: 12 bushings, 6 tubes, and 8 washers.
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 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Outback, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
