Common Issues This Part Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses the front right lower stamped-steel arm configuration before ordering. This assembly is pre-greased and includes the ball joint and bushings, but mounting hardware is not included. Because the ball joint is bolt-in with a threaded stud, verify fastener condition and torque specifications during installation. A professional alignment is recommended after suspension replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman uses an industry-focused evaluation process to verify fit, function, and suspension performance characteristics. That process supports a replacement that helps maintain smooth ride quality, directional stability, and predictable handling on the specified Volkswagen Tiguan and Tiguan Limited applications.
