Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this part come with the bushings installed?

Yes, the Febi 42158 comes with the rubber mounts (bushings) pre-installed for easier fitting.

Should I replace both suspension arms at the same time?

It is highly recommended to replace suspension arms in pairs to ensure even wear and balanced handling.

What is the primary function of the included split pin?

The split pin acts as a safety lock for the crown nut, preventing it from vibrating loose during operation.

Will this part fit the front left side?

No, this specific part is engineered exclusively for the front upper right position.

Do I need a specialty tool for installation?

You will need standard metric wrenches, a torque wrench, and likely a ball joint separator to remove the old unit.

Troubleshooting

Persistent clunking noise after installation

Verify that all mounting bolts and the crown nut have been torqued to the specific manufacturer settings.

Vehicle pulls to one side after installation

A professional wheel alignment is required as the suspension geometry has been physically altered.

Difficulty inserting the split pin

Ensure the crown nut is aligned correctly with the hole in the ball joint stud; do not force the pin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware in the box
  • Matches factory specifications for guaranteed compatibility
  • Improves vehicle handling and safety
  • High-quality rubber mounts minimize road noise transfer

Cons

  • Requires professional alignment after installation
  • Installation is a labor-intensive task for non-mechanics
  • Specific to front upper right position only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting the installation, ensure you have a torque wrench and proper jack stands for safety. The Febi 42158 arrives with the necessary crown nut and split pin; ensure these are installed securely to prevent the ball joint from loosening under load. After mounting the arm, it is critical to have a four-wheel alignment performed by a technician, as removing and replacing a control arm will shift your camber and toe settings. For care, visually inspect the rubber mounts at every oil change for signs of dry rot or cracking to prevent future performance degradation.
