Front Control Arm Bushings - Subaru Outback - w53353
Whiteline Control Arm Bushings
A control arm bushing plays a vital role in a suspension. Replace those faulty O.E. rubber bushings with Whiteline's synthetic elastomer control arm bushings. These elastomer bushings provide the longevity and performance needed to maximize a suspension's efficiency.
Whiteline's synthetic elastomer is a firmer bushing than the O.E. Not only does this increase the longevity of the bushing, but it gives the suspension a boost in handling performance. With a firmer bushing, there will be a slight increase in NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), but most drivers prefer the boost in performance in spite of that.
The Faulty O.E.
As your suspension travels, a rubber control arm bushing is repeatedly stretching and flexing. After a while, the center sleeve begins to sag and your suspension alignment is throw out of whack. The sagging will go on until the rubber fails completely.

Whiteline w53353

In a straight line these really dont come into play, but in the corners they really shine. If you are after a more sporty drive and you are planning on doing other suspension work, these are totally worth it.

Great quality and easy installation with a press. I will buy Whiteline again for the rear. Very satisfied customer here.

The bushings were easy enough to install, 10 minutes tof get the control arms out, 15 minutes to press the old bushings out, and 15 minutes to press the new ones in and another 15 to reinstall the arms into the car. Overall part fit is great, nice and tight. After one year there is no part movement in the socket and the bushings still function as if new. They are indeed much stiffer than factory, and I would indeed recommend the installation on the lower front bushing set with these, you will feel them if you are really in tune with your vehicle. I do notice a little increase in NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) but I was expec ting it and it is not really noticible unless you are hunting for it. Im a mechanic, and did the work in a shop, so I had all the right tools but at home the same results could have been achieved as long as you have a good press, or access to one. Overall these bushings actually exceed my expectations, and Im quite picky.
