Correct Anti-Lift Geometry On Your MK7 Golf Platform Car
The VW Golf, GTI, and Golf R MK7 platform uses a front lower control arm with a compliant inner rear bushing that limits anti-lift geometry correction under hard acceleration and braking. This Whiteline KCA499 double offset bushing kit firms up that mounting point to sharpen steering feedback and reduce unwanted suspension movement during hard driving.
Key Features
- Double offset bushing design corrects anti-lift geometry at the front lower control arm
- Improves steering feedback and reduces bushing deflection under load
- Synthetic elastomer construction resists wear better than the factory rubber bushing
- Improves braking performance and reduces under load alignment change
- Direct bolt in replacement at the factory inner rear mounting point
- KCA499 is engineered specifically for the MK7 platform front lower control arm
