Product Details
Whiteline built the Upper Shock Absorber Bushing Kit for the 1979-1982 Mazda 626. Included: 4 bushings. Chassis code: GC. Part number W21172.
The connection between the shock and the control arm or body is only as good as the bushing in it. Worn bushings add play, so a firmer replacement helps the shock do its work. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Expect an easy job of about 1 hour. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Mazda 626: 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts, Front Sway Bar Washer Kit, and Front Sway Bar Link Bushing (21mm OD).
Features
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Easy to fit: Made with the installer in mind, so it goes in without special equipment.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
