This page covers the Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Front Bushing for the 2008-2009 Volkswagen Rabbit S (1K). It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline part number: W0503. Drivetrain: FWD. Trim named on the listing: S. In the box: 4 bushings and 2 tubes.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 2.5 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Rabbit, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit.
