What It Helps Address

• Excessive suspension looseness at the rear upper rearward control arm location
• Clunking or knocking from worn control arm bushings
• Uneven rear suspension movement caused by deteriorated rubber
• Loss of alignment stability related to bushing wear
• Harshness transferred through the rear suspension assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Install GK80100 at the rear upper rearward position only on the listed applications. Verify control arm condition, bushing bore size, and mounting points before pressing in the new bushing. Because suspension bushings affect alignment and ride height geometry, a professional alignment check after repair is recommended.
