Whiteline Front Lower Control Arm Bushings for RSX/Civic/CRV

Whiteline Front Lower Control Arm Bushings for RSX/Civic/CRV

The Whiteline Front Lower Control Arm Inner Rear Bushing Kit is a replacement bushing set for the inner rear pivot of the front lower control arm. This joint is a primary compliance point in the front suspension, influencing how the arm locates under braking and cornering loads and how well the suspension maintains static alignment settings as load increases.

In factory form, the original equipment rubber bushing is designed to isolate noise and vibration while allowing controlled deflection. As mileage and age accumulate, rubber bushings commonly soften, crack, or permanently deform, which can allow additional unwanted control arm movement. The typical service outcome is reduced steering precision and less consistent alignment behavior under load.

W53412 replaces the original inner rear control arm bushing elements with Whiteline synthetic elastomer bushings and new crush tubes. This kit is intended to restore the control arm pivot to serviceable condition while using a firmer bushing material than original equipment rubber.

Key Features

• Manufacturer part number W53412
• Location Front suspension, front lower control arm, inner rear position
• Material Synthetic elastomer
• Kit contents 4 bushings, 2 tubes

Design dimensions are published for the two bushing sizes used in this kit. Both share the same outside diameter and inside diameter, with different bushing lengths.

When this kit is typically selected is when the installer wants to retain the original control arm while renewing the inner rear pivot with a firmer bushing material, rather than installing a complete control arm assembly. It is also applicable when the primary goal is service restoration of the inner rear mount without changing the control arm itself.

Installation scope and considerations include press work to remove and install bushings in the control arm, along with a post install front wheel alignment. The installation guidance published for this kit indicates suspension specialist level work is recommended.
