What It Helps Address

• Front-end looseness or imprecise steering feel from worn control arm bushings
• Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry wear
• Excess play in the front left upper forward suspension link
• Restoration of OE-style suspension alignment on Audi A4, A6, S4, and Passat platforms

Installation Notes

Confirm the OE number 8E0 407 505 A and verify chassis/VIN breakpoints before ordering, especially on 1998-2001 Audi A4 and related models with multiple suspension configurations. This control arm is listed for the front left upper forward position and should be matched to the paired article number V10-7012 when the opposite-side service part is needed. Use the recommended special tool reference V99-1020 where applicable, and perform a professional alignment after installation.
