Looking for a front control arm bushing for your 1999-2003 Volkswagen Golf/GTI GLS? The Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing (Standard Repl.) is made for it. Chassis code: 1J. In the box: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. Position: front. The listing names the GLS trim. Application note: Standard Replacement. Order it as part number W53188.
When a control arm bushing fails, the wheel is no longer held where it should be under braking and over bumps. This is a like-for-like replacement: it restores the original pivot behavior and ride comfort rather than changing them.
Expect a difficult job of about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Golf/GTI, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 24mm Rear Sway Bar.
