Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing fits the 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf R. The kit contains 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. It is listed for the MQB chassis. Part number W63579.
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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Golf R: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Bonded design: A bonded design adds strength for high load applications.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
