Whiteline Front Upper Control Arm Bushing Kit for 1982-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL (T3)

The Whiteline Front Upper Control Arm Bushing Kit fits the 1982-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL. The part number is W53464. It goes on the front of the vehicle. It is listed for the T3 chassis. In the box: 4 bushings, 4 shells, and 4 tubes. Trim named on the listing: GL.

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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.

Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the Vanagon, see Front Steering Rack And Pinion Mount Bushing, 19mm Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit, and Front Sway Bar Link Upper Bushing.
