Product Description

The Whiteline W51709A Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit is designed to replace the factory inner forward bushings in the front suspension of several Subaru platforms including Impreza, Forester, Legacy, and Outback models. These bushings are manufactured from Whiteline's advanced synthetic elastomer compound, providing greater durability and resistance to oil, grease, ozone, and environmental wear compared with standard rubber components. This upgrade helps restore precise suspension geometry and improve steering feedback as the vehicle loads and unloads during cornering and braking.

Worn control arm bushings can cause alignment instability, vague steering feel, and reduced braking efficiency. The W51709A kit restores suspension integrity while enhancing chassis response and handling performance. Each kit includes four bushings, two metal sleeves, and installation grease to ensure proper fitment and long-term operation. Installation is typically completed within about 2 to 2.5 hours, after which a professional wheel alignment is recommended to ensure optimal suspension geometry and tire wear characteristics.
