Detailed Description

This Dorman trailing arm, part number 524-916, is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the rear right suspension location. It uses steel construction, a black coated finish, and rubber bushings to help maintain stable alignment and consistent ride behavior. For drivers servicing Audi A3, Audi S3, Volkswagen GTI, or Volkswagen Golf R rear suspension components, this arm supports the original suspension layout without requiring a custom modification.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 102-8109 and Delphi TC3844 for the same application. It also aligns with OE-style replacement needs for rear right suspension repair on 2015-2025 Volkswagen GTI, 2015-2020 Audi A3, and 2022-2025 Audi RS3 applications.

What It Helps Repair

• Rear suspension looseness or instability
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn suspension geometry
• Clunking or knocking from deteriorated bushings
• Imprecise handling from a fatigued trailing arm
• Alignment issues after suspension wear or damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Install at the rear right suspension position only. Verify mounting hole diameter, arm length, and bushing orientation before installation. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware separately as needed. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension component replacement to confirm proper rear suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this trailing arm as a standard replacement part and subjects it to rigorous evaluation for secure performance, smooth ride quality, and predictable handling. The steel construction and coated finish support long-term service in everyday suspension repair.
