Product Details
This page covers the Whiteline Rear Control Arm Service Kit for the 2005-2008 Subaru Outback R L.L. Bean Edition. Trim named on the listing: R L.L. Bean Edition. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The part number is KSK124. Whiteline's note for this fit: Service kit to suit Whiteline control arms KTA124. It is listed for the BP chassis. Included: 12 bushings, 6 tubes, and 8 washers.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the Outback, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts.
Features
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
