Keep your front suspension located and quiet with the LEMFORDER control arm bushing (MPN 3576501), a front upper suspension control arm bushing that mounts in the trailing-arm location to help position the control arm and cushion road inputs. It fits many Audi models as a direct-fit replacement, among them the 2012-2018 Audi A6, 2012-2018 Audi A6 Quattro and 2012-2018 Audi A7 Quattro — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.
A worn control arm bushing can show up as clunking or knocking over the front suspension on acceleration or bumps, imprecise steering, or uneven tire wear.
