Detailed Description

Mevotech MS70461 is a natural rubber suspension control arm bushing engineered for the front lower rearward position. Its press-in design and OE-style dimensions make it a direct replacement option for front suspension repair on 2011-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2014-2021 Volkswagen Passat applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Front suspension clunking from a worn control arm bushing

• Uneven tire wear related to suspension bushing wear
• Steering looseness caused by deteriorated rubber bushings
• Noise and vibration from a damaged front suspension bushing

Installation Notes
