Product Description

The Whiteline W53485 is a front lower control arm inner rearward bushing kit engineered for the 2010-2013 Hyundai i45 (YF), 2010-2015 Hyundai ix35 (LM), and 2010-2016 Kia Sportage (SL). Worn front control arm bushings are a leading cause of steering vagueness, brake dive, and front-end instability - particularly on vehicles with higher mileage. This kit replaces the factory rubber inner rear bushings with Whiteline's advanced synthetic elastomer compound, restoring proper front suspension geometry and significantly improving vehicle control.

Whiteline's synthetic elastomer provides a balanced performance profile: compliant and comfortable at everyday driving speeds, yet firm and responsive under hard cornering, braking, or acceleration. The shell-style design requires a hydraulic press for installation and a front wheel alignment upon completion. A suspension specialist is recommended due to the estimated 4-hour installation time and the precision required to correctly seat the shell bushings in the control arm housing.
