Product Details
Whiteline built the Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing for the 2016 Volkswagen Golf/GTI Base (AU). Whiteline part number: W63579. In the box: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. Position: rear. Trim named on the listing: Base.
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. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Golf/GTI: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing.
