Stop Chasing Worn Bushings With A Complete Bolt In Fix
Factory rubber bushings in the front lower control arms on MQB platform Volkswagen and Audi models break down over time, leading to vague steering, clunks over bumps, and uneven tire wear. The Whiteline KSK132 service kit replaces the wear components in the KTA262 front lower control arm with durable polyurethane and reinforced hardware, restoring precise steering feel without the cost of full arm replacement.
Key Features
- Service kit designed for use with Whiteline KTA262 front lower control arms
- 2 shell bushings, 4 bushings, and 2 tubes included per kit
- Firmer synthetic elastomer compound improves steering response and chassis control
- Reduces deflection compared to worn factory rubber bushings
- Backed by Whiteline's lifetime warranty on bushing kits
- Direct bolt in fitment for MQB platform Golf, GTI, Jetta, GLI, and Audi A3/S3/RS3

FAQ
What is the KSK132?The Whiteline KSK132 is a service kit containing the replacement bushings, shell bushings, and tubes used to rebuild the Whiteline KTA262 front lower control arm on MQB platform Volkswagen and Audi models.
Does the KSK132 fit my Golf or GTI?The KSK132 fits the Mk7 and Mk7.5 Golf, GTI, Golf R, Sportwagen, Alltrack, Jetta, and GLI on the MQB platform. Check your model year against the fitment table above to confirm.

Can I install this kit without removing the control arm?No, the KSK132 is a rebuild kit for the KTA262 control arm and requires the arm to be removed from the vehicle for bushing replacement using a press or the appropriate installation tooling.
