Product Details
Looking for a rear control arm bushing for your 2015-2016 Volkswagen Golf/GTI SEL? The Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing is made for it. Chassis code: AU. In the box: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. Trim named on the listing: SEL. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. The part number is W63579.
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.
Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing.
Features
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Bonded design: Bonding adds durability in high-load use.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
