Made for the 1998-2002 Volkswagen Cabrio (A3), the Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing firms up the front lower control arm pivot. Age is the main enemy here: even the newest Cabrio covered is 24 years old, and rubber that old rarely holds its shape or stiffness.
Think of the control arm bushing as the hinge of the front suspension. A hinge with play in it makes the front end vague, and one that is too soft lets alignment change under load. This replacement is built to keep the geometry steady while the arm still moves freely.
Fitment here is for 5 model years, 1998 through 2002, of the Volkswagen Cabrio on the A3 chassis. The listing names the GLS version. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Expect a difficult job of about 2.5 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the Cabrio, see 12mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link (Models w/ Pressed Steel Arms).
