What It Helps Address

• Front-end clunking or looseness from a worn control arm bushing
• Steering wander caused by suspension play at the front left lower rearward position
• Uneven tire wear related to worn front suspension geometry
• Noisy suspension movement over bumps and road joints
• Restoring proper alignment after control arm wear or damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s OE number and position before ordering, especially on Audi A4, A5, S4, S5, RS5, and Q5 platforms. The listed fitment includes front left lower rearward and front left applications, so match the exact chassis and production details shown in the fitment data. Use the recommended special tool reference V99-1020 where required, and verify the paired article number V10-4489 when servicing the opposite side or related suspension components. Because this arm uses a rubber mounting, final torque should be set according to the vehicle’s suspension service procedure.

Quality Assurance
