What this part does
The front right lower Control Arm anchors the steering knuckle and wheel hub assembly to the subframe of the vehicle. It functions as a structural pivot point, allowing the front suspension to articulate vertically over road imperfections while maintaining correct wheel alignment and geometry. When the integrated rubber bushings tear or the ball joint develops play, the suspension loses its rigid geometry. This failure typically causes steering wander at highway speeds, heavy metallic clunking noises over bumps, and rapid, uneven tire wear.

Before you order
Verify that your current Control Arm carries the exact 4g0407696 stamping, as Volkswagen Group uses several similar-looking arms across different suspension packages. When installing this component, the mounting bolts must only be torqued to specification when the vehicle is at its normal ride height, resting on its wheels; tightening the bolts while the suspension is hanging on a hoist will cause the inner bushings to bind and tear prematurely. A complete front-end alignment is mandatory after installation to restore correct camber and toe settings.
