Whiteline Front Control Arm Bushings (Lower/Inner/Front)
2013–2016 Scion FR-S, 2017–2024 Toyota 86, 2013–2024 Subaru BRZ
KCA434
Overview:
The Whiteline Front Control Arm Bushings (Lower/Inner/Front) are precision-engineered suspension components designed specifically for the Scion FR-S (2013–2016), Toyota 86 (2017–2024), and Subaru BRZ (2013–2024). These bushings replace the factory rubber units with low-compliance polyurethane, enhancing front suspension geometry and delivering improved handling characteristics.
Ideal for enthusiasts seeking sharper turn-in response, better traction, and reduced understeer, these bushings incorporate an "Anti-Dive" design and provide a +0.5 degree static positive caster correction. This combination optimizes suspension attitude during acceleration, braking, and cornering for a more confident driving experience.
Key Features:
Whiteline’s Front Control Arm Bushings offer a range of performance benefits through advanced design and materials:
- +0.5° static positive caster correction for improved steering geometry
- Anti-Dive technology reduces front-end dive under braking
- Low compliance polyurethane construction for firmer suspension feel
- Maintains higher dynamic positive caster during suspension travel
- Improves front suspension attitude to enhance traction and reduce wheel spin
- Sharpens initial turn-in response for more precise handling
- Reduces bushing deflection to maintain consistent alignment angles through corners
- Durable design engineered to withstand daily driving and spirited use
Construction & Design:
These bushings are crafted from high-quality polyurethane, chosen for its superior durability and resistance to deformation compared to OEM rubber components. The low compliance material reduces unwanted movement in the front lower control arm, resulting in more direct suspension feedback and improved vehicle stability.
Whiteline’s design incorporates a subtle caster offset that adds +0.5 degrees of positive caster. This adjustment enhances dynamic negative camber during cornering, which helps maintain tire contact patch and improves grip. The anti-dive feature modifies suspension geometry to reduce front-end squat and dive, contributing to better braking stability and overall control.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Whiteline Front Control Arm Bushings is a direct replacement for the factory lower inner front control arm bushings on the specified vehicles. No modifications are required, and the bushings fit precisely to maintain proper suspension geometry. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct torque specifications and alignment settings are achieved after installation.
What's Included:
- Whiteline Front Lower Inner Control Arm Bushings (pair)
- Installation instructions
Ideal For:
These bushings are perfect for drivers who want to improve the handling dynamics of their Scion FR-S, Toyota 86, or Subaru BRZ without extensive suspension modifications. They are well-suited for street performance enthusiasts, weekend track day drivers, and anyone looking to reduce understeer and enhance front-end feedback for a more engaging driving experience.
