Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Trailing Arm Front Bushing fits the 2004-2013 Audi A3 Quattro. It is listed for the 8P chassis. The listing names the Quattro trim. Part number W0504. The kit contains 4 bushings, 2 tubes, 4 washers, an install guide, and grease. Placement: rear.
Every time the wheel moves, the trailing arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Audi A3, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
