Product Description
Restore the stability and handling of your vehicle with this Arrowhead Control Arm Bush Rear, designed for the CONTROL ARM BUSH STEERING SUSPENSION & AXLES system.

This part is compatible with select Audi, Seat, and Volkswagen models. It is particularly suited for vehicles such as the VW Polo 9N, produced between 2003 and 2009, but may also fit other models in these makes.

Worn or damaged rear control arm bushes can cause a range of issues, including clunking noises, uneven tyre wear, poor alignment, excessive vibration, and instability during braking or cornering. If you notice any of these symptoms, inspecting and replacing the bush is recommended.
Replacing a rear control arm bush involves pressing out the old bushing and installing the new one, often requiring specialised tools. It is advisable to have this job done by a qualified technician, especially if you notice handling issues or visible cracks in the existing bush.
