For the 2005-2012 Volkswagen Golf/GTI (1K), this front control arm bushing from Whiteline firms up the front lower control arm pivot. Cars in this range are up to 14 years old, which is about when factory bushings and joints begin to loosen.
Control arm bushings take braking, acceleration, and cornering forces all at once. Once the rubber softens, the arm can shift under load and the front wheels no longer track where you steer. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs.
This listing covers 8 model years, 2005 through 2012, of the Volkswagen Golf/GTI on the 1K chassis. The listing names the TDI version. It is listed for FWD cars. You receive 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Golf/GTI: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
