Vehicle Fitment

• 2001-2005 Honda Civic (Non-Si trims), 7th generation
• 1997-2006 Honda CR-V (RD1-RD7 chassis)
• 2003-2011 Honda Element

Fitment Notes

• Civic application is specific to Non-Si trims - confirm the customer's Civic isn't an Si model, which may use a different rear suspension design.

Features

• Replaces worn factory rubber control arm bushings that cause uneven tire wear, unbalanced braking, and a less predictable rear end while cornering
• Synthetic elastomer construction resistant to oil, grease, ozone, and weathering
• Supplied with extreme-pressure molybdenum disulfide (LM)-based grease for extended service life
• Internal grease reservoirs provide continual self-lubrication
• Protective plating on metal components resists corrosion far better than conventional paint
• Includes correct mounting hardware

Product Description

The Whiteline W63382 is a rear lower control arm bushing for the outer mounting position, built for the 7th generation Honda Civic (Non-Si), 1997-2006 CR-V, and 2003-2011 Element. If a car in this range is showing uneven tire wear, unpredictable braking, or a rear end that feels vague through corners, worn factory rubber control arm bushings are a common cause - they let the control arm shift under load in ways the suspension wasn't designed to accommodate.

Whiteline's synthetic elastomer replacement holds that mounting point far more precisely than aging rubber, while the internal grease reservoirs and included extreme-pressure molybdenum disulfide grease keep the bushing self-lubricating over its service life rather than drying out and squeaking the way some aftermarket poly bushings can. The protective plating on the metal hardware components is a genuine durability upgrade too, holding up to road salt and general corrosion far better than a painted finish.

Installation takes about an hour and a half and is best handled by someone with trade-level experience given the control arm access involved - Whiteline's own press in/out tool kit (WTK001) is recommended to make removing the old bushing and pressing in the new one significantly easier than attempting it with generic tools.
