Help keep the control arms on your 2000-2006 Audi TT, 2000-2006 Audi TT Quattro or 2004 Volkswagen R32 properly located with the Lemforder Control Arm Bushing / Trailing Arm Mounting, part number 27132 01. It is a direct-fit replacement for these listed applications and is cataloged for the front rearward position. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
Lemforder lists this part as a trailing arm mounting, so you may also see it sold under that name. As a suspension control arm bushing, it forms the pivot point between the control arm and the chassis. It lets the arm move with the suspension while helping to hold it in position and to damp road vibration.
Signs this part may need replacing include clunking or knocking over bumps, a loose or wandering feel in the steering, uneven tire wear, and a bushing that looks torn, cracked or separated. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so inspect the suspension before ordering. If a worn bushing is the cause, a LEMFORDER control arm bushing replaces it. A wheel alignment check after installation is recommended.
