Product Description

This SuperPro SPF4181K Control Arm Lower-Inner Bush Kit brings a substantial upgrade over standard rubber bushes in the rear lower inner control arm location. Over time, the factory rubber mounts can soften, leading to misalignment, degraded handling and uneven tyre wear - especially on vehicles like the Audi A3, VW Golf and related platforms. By fitting high-quality polyurethane bushes with steel tubes, you restore firm mounting, correct geometry and dynamic stability for everyday and performance use alike.

Ideal for owners of 8V-series Audi A3/S3, VW Golf MK7/MK8, Tiguan and Skoda Karoq models (both FWD and AWD/4MOTION variants) from 2012 through 2020 (and in some cases later for specific trims). The kit is a "fast-road" performance solution - perfect for drivers who expect sharp turn-in, responsive handling and improved tyre life without the harshness of full race suspension. Because it locates the lower inner control arm mount, proper installation is critical. Wheel alignment is mandatory afterwards to ensure optimum performance and longevity.

Installation requires specialist tools and a clear workspace, as this bushing sits in the rear axle control arm mount area. It is compatible with vehicles up to 2020 according to SuperPro data. Coverage beyond 2020 (i.e., 2021-25) is unconfirmed at time of listing, so please verify for later model years before purchase.
