Fitment: Fits selected models across Audi and Volkswagen. Confirm exact fitment before ordering.
Product Description
This Arrowhead CONTROL ARM FRONT LH&RH is designed for the front suspension and steering system of select Audi and Volkswagen models. The control arm is a vital link between the chassis and the wheel hub, helping to ensure stable handling, proper wheel alignment, and a comfortable ride. Its stamped steel construction and integrated rubber bushings are engineered to absorb road shocks and vibrations while maintaining precise steering control.
This control arm is compatible with certain Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, including models such as the Golf, Jetta IV, Beetle, A3, and S3 from 1996 to 2010. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure correct fitment before placing your order.
Common symptoms of a worn or damaged control arm include clunking noises when driving over bumps, uneven tyre wear, loose or wandering steering, poor handling, and excessive vibration through the steering wheel. You may also notice the vehicle pulling to one side or instability when braking.
If you experience any of these symptoms or notice visible wear on the control arm or bushings, it is important to replace the part promptly. Neglecting a damaged control arm can lead to further suspension issues and compromise your safety on the road.
