Whiteline Front Caster Bushings for 96-00 Honda Civic

Whiteline Front Caster Bushings for 96-00 Honda Civic

Whiteline front caster bushings replaces the front lower control arm inner rear pivot bushing on the 96 to 00 Honda Civic chassis. This is one of the spots that decides how much the arm can move fore and aft, so it has a big say in how your wheel tracks when you jump on the brakes or load the front end in a corner. In other words, this front caster bushing kit Honda owners actually feel at the steering wheel.

From the factory, Honda uses soft rubber here because comfort sells cars. The downside is that as the rubber ages, it squishes and walks around under load, then your alignment changes mid corner and the steering starts to feel vague. The Whiteline bushing kit swaps that squishy pivot for an offset bushing that physically shifts the control arm position at the subframe, which adds caster versus stock. If you want Civic 96-00 caster correction without buying arms, this is the straightforward way to do it.

Installer considerations are simple but not optional. You need proper press tooling, you need to install the offset in the right direction, and you should torque at ride height if the service procedure calls for it. Expect more noise and vibration than the stock rubber, that is the trade. If you want the front end to stop wandering under braking, though, this Honda suspension bushing kit style upgrade does the job.
