Hi Guys!

I need help with finding some Front lower control arm bushes, I tried looking at the Whiteline website however i cant seem to find it for my model, Ive also emailed them and no response. Its a 2006 Lib Gt Spec B.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

Here you go. The item you want is KCA334 - Whiteline's Anti Lift Kit. It improves the caster angle of the front suspension which in turn increases feel and turn in and reduces under steer. Best bang-for-buck suspension mod you can do on Liberty.

It's all under Legacy not Liberty.

Hey,

Thanks for that, really appreciate it.

I was wondering... I called my mechanic and they said that these would wear out much faster than the stock bushes. Would it be better to get the W0506 or W53353?

Thanks,

W0506 are the bushes you want - they are the front lower control arm bushes, and the ones that wear out the quickest. While you are there it's often a good ideal to also upgrade KCA334 which will help as mentioned.
The poly bushes don't wear out faster than the stock bushes - that's part of the point. They have much less give than the standard bushing, so make the ride a slight bit harsher - the difference here isn't huge though.

This is the link you want for all the whiteline gear: http://www.whiteline.com.au/do_segue4.p ... 3-8%2F2009

I wouldn't bother with the W53353, they are just standard replacements

Polyurethane bushes are the go! Heaps of old guys seem to think rubber bushes are the best but they wear out so much quicker!!

Haha way to stereotype the old guys! :lol:
They both have their place, but generally for street/race cars poly is the go and for 4WDs rubber is the go because poly bushes limit all flex - the exact reason they are so good for street cars.

So maybe that's where the 'old guys' get it from.
