Detailed Description

Dorman 540-270 is a front suspension stabilizer bar bushing kit engineered for specific Volkswagen and Audi platforms. It is a standard replacement part for the sway bar mounting points on 1998-2001 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2001 Volkswagen Jetta, 1999-2007 Volkswagen Golf, 2003-2006 Audi TT, 2002-2006 Audi TT Quattro, and 2007-2010 Volkswagen Golf City, all with a 21 mm diameter bar. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-7010 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front suspension clunking or rattling from worn stabilizer bar bushings
• Excess sway bar movement at the chassis mounting points
• Loose or degraded rubber bushings on high-mileage Volkswagen Golf and Jetta models
• Noise and vibration from worn front sway bar support bushings on Audi TT and TT Quattro
• Restoration of proper stabilizer bar support on 21 mm bar applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the stabilizer bar diameter before ordering; this part is for 21 mm diameter bars only. Confirm front-position fitment and compare the original bushing dimensions to the listed inside diameter, outside diameter, width, and assembled length. Clean the mounting surfaces before installation and inspect the stabilizer bar and related hardware for wear.
