Stop Rear Subframe Movement From Robbing Your G8 Of Cornering Confidence
Soft factory rear crossmember bushings allow the rear subframe to shift under load, causing inconsistent handling and vague feedback through corners. The Whiteline W93165 rear crossmember mount bushing kit replaces those factory bushings to dramatically reduce rear crossmember misalignment and movement, giving the rear end a more positive, connected feel during cornering.
Key Features
- Reduces rear crossmember misalignment and movement under load
- Delivers a more positive, connected feel from the rear end while cornering
- Recommended for motorsport and performance driving applications
- Direct replacement for the factory rear subframe mount bushings
- W93165 uses Whiteline's durable synthetic elastomer bushing compound
- Improves consistency of rear suspension geometry lap after lap
