Detailed Description

Dorman 520-581 is a suspension control arm designed for the front left lower location on 1992-1996 Volkswagen EuroVan models, with 1996 coverage limited to vehicles up to VIN 70-T-200 000. The arm uses iron construction, a welded ball joint mounting point, and a threaded ball joint stud interface, while the rubber bushing is already included for a more complete replacement assembly. This part cross-references Delphi TC2177 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a Volkswagen EuroVan front left lower control arm, Dorman 520-581 provides a practical OE-style replacement when the original arm is worn, bent, or noisy. The coated black finish and forged/cast construction support long-term service in suspension use, and the non-adjustable design matches the original layout for the listed vehicles.

What It Helps Fix

• Clunking or knocking from a worn lower control arm bushing
• Loose or unstable front suspension feel
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
• Steering pull related to worn front left lower suspension components
• Excess movement from a fatigued control arm assembly

This part is for the front left lower location on 1992-1996 Volkswagen EuroVan models, with the 1996 application limited to vehicles up to VIN 70-T-200 000. Mounting hardware is not included, and the ball joint is not included or installed, so inspect related suspension components before service.
