Product Description

The Whiteline KDT974 Front Engine Torque Arm Bushing is engineered to replace the soft OEM rubber torque arm mount bushing found on various Ford Focus, Mazda 3, and Volvo C30/S40/C70/V50 models. This performance-oriented bushing uses a low-compliance synthetic elastomer to help control forward and aft twisting motion of the engine and drivetrain under torque load, reducing unwanted movement, shudder, and power delivery lag during acceleration and throttle transitions.

Installation is direct and typically takes around one to two hours, but due to the role the torque arm plays in drivetrain stability, a professional alignment check is recommended after fitting to ensure proper suspension geometry and handling balance. The KDT974 upgrade is suited for enthusiasts looking for firmer powertrain responses and reduced drivetrain movement without extensive modification.
