Product Description

This Arrowhead Control Arm Bush for the front axle upper left and right positions is designed to restore proper handling and suspension performance in your Audi or Volkswagen. As a key component in the control arm assembly, this bush helps to absorb road shocks and maintain correct alignment of the suspension system. Its robust metal and rubber construction ensures effective vibration damping and stability during driving.

Compatible with select Audi and Volkswagen models, including popular Audi A4, A6, A8, S6, S8, and VW Passat vehicles produced between 1995 and 2009. Always confirm your specific model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before ordering.

Worn or damaged control arm bushes can cause a variety of symptoms such as clunking noises, uneven tyre wear, vague steering response, and excessive vibration through the steering wheel. If you notice instability, poor handling, or knocking sounds from the suspension, it may be time to inspect and replace these bushes.

Replacing the control arm bushes involves removing the control arm and pressing out the old bushes, then fitting the new ones securely. It is recommended to replace bushes in pairs (left and right) for balanced suspension performance and to ensure lasting results.
