Looking for a front control arm bushing for your 2006 Volkswagen Golf/GTI? The Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing is made for it. Whiteline”s note for this fit: Standard Replacement. Whiteline part number: W53196. The chassis code on the listing is 1K. You receive 2 bushings. This part is for the front of the vehicle.
A control arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a difficult job of about 3 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. 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.
