• Fits 2013-2014 Audi S8, front lower inner forward

Detailed Description

Delphi TD1626W is engineered as a suspension control arm bushing for the front lower inner forward location, where precise fit and stable suspension movement matter. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility with the original suspension design, and the rubber construction supports the isolation characteristics expected in daily driving and chassis service. This part number, TD1626W, is a direct-fit style replacement for Audi A8 Quattro and Audi S8 front suspension applications listed below.

Delphi tests its steering and suspension components across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. This makes the TD1626W a practical choice when replacing a worn front lower control arm bushing on a 2011-2014 Audi A8 Quattro or 2013-2014 Audi S8. This part cross-references Audi OE numbers 4H0 407 182 B and 4H0407182C for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clunking or knocking from the front suspension
• Excessive play in the lower control arm mounting point
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension bushings
• Loose or imprecise steering feel during road input
• Vibration or harshness transmitted through the chassis

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TD1626W at the front lower inner forward control arm position only on the listed Audi applications. Because this is a press-fit bushing, proper suspension disassembly and a suitable press tool are required for installation. Inspect the control arm, mounting bore, and adjacent suspension components for wear before installation to help ensure a correct repair.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional verification, and material analysis to support consistent fit and performance. The part is evaluated for temperature extremes and corrosion exposure as part of Delphi’s durability testing process.
