Having soft suspension is one thing, but having an all-around soft and mushy car is quite the turn off, especially with performance-oriented vehicles like the 5th generation Camaro.
Luckily Whiteline Suspension has a Vehicle Essentials Kit (P/N WEK005) that includes replacements for all of the soft bushings used in production. The Vehicle Essentials Kit includes front radius arm to chassis bushings, steering rack and pinion mount bushings, rear crossmember mount insert bushings, and rear differential mount bushings.
Whiteline’s synthetic-elastomer bushings will save money on costly repairs, should a stock bushing fail. The radius arm bushings are a lot more durable than the factory pieces and will increase the life of the radius arms in your vehicle. The steering rack and pinion bushing will keep the steering rack snug in place, allowing for more accurate steering and more precise steering feel.
The rear crossmember mount insert bushings are to fill the void that the stock bushings leave. Once Whiteline’s crossmember mount insert bushings are installed, there will be no more excessive movement that the stock rubber bushings allow.
Whiteline’s swaybar upgrade (P/N BCK001), which is not part of the Vehicle Essentials Kit, is also an integral upgrade to the vehicle’s handling. The kit consists of two 27mm solid steel swaybars (front and rear), synthetic-elastomer swaybar bushings with new mounting brackets, lateral locks, and endlinks for front and rear.
The lateral locks install on the swaybar itself, to prevent any side to side movement when cornering. Whiteline’s endlinks are fully adjustable and that’s because the swaybar has provisions for three mounting locations to stiffen or soften the roll resistance around town or at the track.
Installing the Vehicle Essentials Kit and the swaybar upgrade to your 5th generation Camaro is one of the most cost-effective performance modifications on the market today. Check out Whiteline Suspension’s website and increase your vehicle’s performance sooner than later!
