Whiteline W53410 Front Lower Control Arm Bushing RSX/Civic/CR-V/DC5

Vehicle Fitment

• 2002-2006 Acura RSX
• 2001-2007 Honda Integra DC5 (Type R, Type S)
• Honda Civic (65mm OD bushing applications)
• Honda CR-V (65mm OD bushing applications)

Fitment Notes

• This is a shared bushing across the related EP3/DC5/CR-V Honda platform family using a compatible 65mm OD control arm bushing size. Confirm exact model year for Civic and CR-V applications directly with Whiteline's fitment lookup, since those two ranges were not explicitly stated in available sourcing.

Availability Note

• One retailer lists this part as discontinued by Whiteline, while Whiteline's own current site shows it available for pre-order with stock due in 4-6 weeks - indicating it remains in active production. Confirm current availability directly with Whiteline or an authorized distributor before publishing, but treat the "discontinued" listing as likely outdated.

Features

• Replaces worn factory front lower control arm bushings that affect stability, steering precision, and braking efficiency
• Firmer than OE rubber for improved handling performance and increased bushing longevity
• Advanced synthetic elastomer formulation for superior elasticity, memory, and durability
• 65mm OD, standard replacement sizing
• Note: firmer bushing material results in a slight increase in NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) compared to factory rubber - a common and expected tradeoff for the handling improvement

Specifications

• Position: Front lower control arm, inner front
• Bushing size: 65mm OD
• Material: Synthetic elastomer
• Installation time: ~2.0 hours
• Recommended installer: Trade specialist
• Warranty: Lifetime

Included Components

• Front lower control arm bushing (inner front position)

Product Description

The Whiteline W53410 is a front lower control arm bushing for the inner front mounting position, covering the closely related Acura RSX, Honda Integra DC5, and select Civic/CR-V applications that share a compatible 65mm OD bushing size. As this bushing wears, front-end stability, steering precision, and braking feel all degrade together - the control arm loses its precise location under load, which shows up as vague, less confident handling well before the bushing fails outright.

Whiteline's synthetic elastomer replacement is deliberately firmer than the factory rubber it replaces, which is a genuine performance upgrade rather than a like-for-like replacement - expect a slight increase in road noise and vibration transmitted into the cabin as the tradeoff for sharper, more direct handling response. Most drivers find that tradeoff worthwhile, especially on cars like the RSX and DC5 that are already leaning toward a performance-oriented driving character.

Installation runs about two hours and benefits from trade-level experience given the control arm access involved. Given the availability discrepancy found in sourcing - one retailer marking it discontinued while Whiteline's own site currently sells it on pre-order - I'd confirm current stock status directly with Whiteline before finalizing this listing, though the pre-order availability on Whiteline's own site is a good sign the part remains active.
