What It Helps Fix

• Front-end clunking or knocking from a worn control arm
• Excessive suspension play at the front right lower forward mounting point
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn bushings or arm geometry issues
• Steering pull or unstable road feel related to suspension wear
• Inspection failures tied to damaged control arm bushings or arm structure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle trim and suspension configuration before installation, since fitment is specific to the front right lower forward position. The ball joint is not included and is not pre-installed, so transfer or separate replacement of the ball joint may be required depending on the vehicle and service procedure. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, confirm all fasteners and related components before beginning the repair. After installation, perform a wheel alignment to restore proper suspension geometry.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this control arm as a precision-engineered replacement and subjects it to testing for fit and function on the listed Audi applications. Part number 526-828 is built as a standard replacement suspension component for service work on the specified vehicles.
