Whiteline Polyurethane Bushing Review - Toyota Yaris Forums

Monstro · 04-14-2013, 07:02 PM

Hey guys, just wanted to tell everyone about a great upgrade for handling!

I installed Whiteline synthetic elastomer control arm bushings and I have to say wow! The car feels much more planted through turns, especially mid-corner. It also seems it reduced a good amount of under-steer during initial throttle application, I am not sure if that is because of a reduction in front end compliance though. Be aware that you will have issues installing these if you have a sub-frame brace, due to these bushings being much less compliant; also always perform an alignment after any suspension work. Bumps are a little more noticeable, but not bad. All in all a very good modification.

Supporting mods.

How do you like your tires I am looking to buy the same ones and size in a few weeks. I been looking to do these bushings I notice my caster is off last time I did my alignment so if I'm going to replace worn put using might as well upgrade them at the same time

I do have Whiteline control arm bushings ... and my only problem is when I drop in a pothole and bump (you get to believe by the sound that you damaged your car (with the time you get use to it). Beside that they are wonderful.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
