Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2005-2009 Subaru Outback XT Limited (BP/BR). Chassis code: BP/BR. Application note: On-Car Adjustable Allows +/- 1.25 degrees. Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Position: rear. Order it as part number KCA399.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 3 hours. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Outback: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, 14mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Camber adjustment: Designed to optimize camber alignment and offset the effect of body roll and tire roll in corners.
- Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
