Dorman 522-274 Suspension Control Arm - Rear Left Lower Forward, Rear Lower Forward or Rear Right Lower Forward

Dorman 522-274 Rear Control Arm

Dorman 522-274 is a steel suspension control arm built as a direct replacement for specific Audi and Volkswagen rear suspension applications. It is precision-engineered and tested to match the original equipment layout on the rear left lower forward or rear right lower forward position, depending on vehicle application.

• Steel construction with a coated black finish
• Casting/forged design for OE-style fit and strength
• Rubber bushing included with black bushing color
• Welded ball joint mounting type with threaded stud type
• No grease fitting, no ball joint installed, and no mounting hardware included
• Direct replacement for select Audi A3, TT, TTS Quattro, TT Quattro, S3, and Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Jetta, Eos, Beetle, Passat, Bora, and A3 platform applications

OE-Style Suspension Replacement

This suspension control arm is designed for rear lower forward suspension locations where the original arm has worn bushings, loosened joints, or developed noise and handling issues. The Dorman 522-274 uses a steel body, rubber bushing, and coated finish to restore the factory-style suspension geometry on compatible Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf chassis applications. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products (e.g., RK642013) for the same application.

Installation Notes

Verify the rear left lower forward, rear right lower forward, or rear lower forward position before ordering. Compare the original arm length, bushing dimensions, and mounting style to confirm application match. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware as required by the vehicle service procedure. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension work.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this control arm as a tested replacement part for specific OE applications. The steel construction, welded ball joint mounting type, and rubber bushing design are selected to match the original suspension layout used on select Audi and Volkswagen models.
