Product Details
This page covers the Whiteline Upper Shock Absorber Bushing Kit for the 1996-2005 Toyota RAV4. You receive 4 bushings. Part number W21172. It is listed for the XA10/XA20 chassis.
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. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the RAV4, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing, and Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
