It uses stamped steel construction, rubber bushings, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to support consistent suspension movement while maintaining the original mounting layout. The assembly is pre-greased and includes the ball joint, which helps simplify replacement of a worn lower control arm on the Audi Q3, Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen Arteon, and Volkswagen Passat listed above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper fit and compatibility with the original suspension design. The part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to verify durability under demanding road conditions. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme CMS701166 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems This Part Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or knocking from the front suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive play from worn control arm bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoose or unstable steering feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall joint wear at the front left lower suspension point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm the front left lower position and verify vehicle fitment before installation. Because this assembly includes the ball joint and bushings, it is suited for replacing a complete worn control arm rather than servicing individual wear components. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct suspension angles and tire wear characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelphi builds this assembly using OE-based engineering standards and validates it through temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. The result is a premium replacement control arm assembly intended to match the original suspension layout on the listed Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delphi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435691634869,"sku":"BBMX-TC3440","price":101.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/DE_TC3440_Ang.jpg?v=1777861590","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/delphi-tc3440-suspension-control-arm-and-ball-joint-assembly-front-left-lower","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
