Stop Trailing Arm Slop From Robbing Your Alignment
Worn factory rubber in the front lower control arm forward bushing location lets the arm shift under braking and cornering load, which shows up as uneven tire wear, vague steering feel, and inconsistent braking bite. The Whiteline W53637 replaces that soft factory rubber with a durable synthetic elastomer bushing engineered to hold precise alignment geometry mile after mile.
Key Features
- Synthetic elastomer construction resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering far longer than factory rubber
- Internal grease reservoirs provide continual self lubrication to manage friction over time
- Protective plating and powder coating on metal components resists corrosion in harsh conditions
- Specially bonded design built for high load bearing suspension applications
- Supplied with extreme pressure molybdenum disulphide based grease for extended service life
- Restores precise control arm location for sharper steering response and more consistent braking
- Backed by Whiteline limited lifetime warranty

FAQ
What is the W53637?The W53637 is a Whiteline front lower control arm forward bushing kit made from synthetic elastomer, designed to replace worn factory rubber bushings at the forward position of the front lower control arm for improved suspension control.
What does this kit replace?It replaces the factory rubber bushing at the forward mounting point of the front lower control arm, which commonly softens and allows unwanted arm movement as it ages.
How do I know if my control arm bushings are worn?Common symptoms include uneven or cupped tire wear, a vague or wandering steering feel, clunking noises over bumps, and inconsistent braking response caused by the control arm shifting position under load.
Is this kit sold as a pair or a single bushing?Whiteline supplies this kit as a bushing set for the forward position of the front lower control arm, packaged with installation grease.
What material are these bushings made from?They are manufactured from Whiteline's synthetic elastomer compound, chosen for its resistance to oil, grease, ozone, and weathering compared to factory rubber.
Does this kit come with grease for installation?Yes, the kit includes extreme pressure molybdenum disulphide based grease to lubricate the bushing during and after installation.
What warranty does Whiteline offer on this kit?Whiteline backs this kit with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Will installing this kit stiffen my ride noticeably?Synthetic elastomer bushings are firmer than factory rubber, which improves control arm precision, but Whiteline formulates its compounds to balance handling gains with a livable ride for daily driving.
