Superpro Rear Control Arm Upper-Outer Bushing Kit

2006 Subaru Tribeca

Part #: SPF3117K

Overview

The SuperPro Rear Control Arm Upper-Outer Bushing Kit is designed to restore and enhance the handling and stability of your 2006 Subaru Tribeca. Over time, the factory rubber bushings in the control arms can wear out, leading to compromised wheel alignment, increased tire wear, and less precise handling. This kit provides a reliable upgrade or replacement solution to maintain optimal suspension geometry and driving performance.

Whether you're a daily driver seeking improved ride quality or a performance enthusiast aiming for better handling characteristics, this bushing kit helps ensure your vehicle maintains proper alignment and responsiveness in all driving conditions. By replacing worn or degraded bushings with high-quality polyurethane components, you'll experience more consistent steering feel, reduced suspension deflection, and enhanced overall vehicle control.

Key Features

SuperPro's Rear Control Arm Upper-Outer Bushing Kit offers several advanced features designed to improve your vehicle's suspension performance:

• Constructed from durable polyurethane material that resists wear, cracking, and deterioration over time, ensuring long-lasting performance.
• Precisely engineered to match the original factory specifications for a perfect fit and easy installation without modifications.
• Designed to stabilize the movement of the control arms, maintaining correct wheel alignment and preventing unwanted suspension movement during dynamic driving.
• Reduces unwanted wheel toe and camber changes caused by worn bushings, leading to improved handling and tire longevity.
• Helps support consistent suspension geometry, which is critical for predictable steering response and vehicle stability.
• Manufactured by SuperPro, a trusted name in suspension components known for high-quality, performance-oriented bushings and control arm parts.
• Ideal for both repair and upgrade purposes, restoring the vehicle's original handling characteristics or enhancing it further.

Construction & Design

This bushing kit features a high-grade polyurethane construction, which offers a significant upgrade over the original rubber bushings. Polyurethane provides increased stiffness and durability, reducing flex and deflection under load. The bushings are precisely molded to ensure a snug, secure fit within the control arm housing, preventing movement or slippage during aggressive driving or off-road conditions.

The design incorporates a one-piece, robust housing that withstands harsh driving environments, including exposure to road salts, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The kit is engineered with CAD precision and manufactured using advanced molding techniques to guarantee consistent quality and performance. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with suspension work, and the components are compatible with the original mounting points, requiring no additional modifications.

Performance & Handling

Replacing worn control arm bushings with the SuperPro polyurethane kit significantly improves your vehicle's handling and stability. The stiffer bushings reduce suspension deflection, resulting in more responsive steering and better control during cornering and braking. This upgrade helps maintain proper wheel alignment angles, which can lead to improved tire wear and overall driving confidence.

While this kit does not increase horsepower directly, it enhances the vehicle's ability to transfer driver inputs effectively to the road, making your driving experience more precise and enjoyable. The improved suspension stability also contributes to a smoother ride and reduced body roll, especially during spirited driving or uneven road conditions.

Installation & Fitment

The SuperPro Rear Control Arm Upper-Outer Bushing Kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory bushings on your 2006 Subaru Tribeca. The installation process involves removing the control arm from the vehicle, pressing out the old rubber bushings, and pressing in the new polyurethane components. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required, making it a manageable upgrade for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional technicians.

It is recommended to perform a wheel alignment after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear. The kit includes all necessary bushings for the upper-outer positions of the rear control arms, providing a complete solution for restoring suspension integrity.
