FAQs

Is this control arm compatible with my car?

The FCA7267 is designed for specific models such as the VW Golf and Skoda Octavia. Always verify using your vehicle's VIN or the cross-reference numbers 5Q0407152G/5Q0407152J.

Does it include the ball joint?

Yes, this component features an integrated ball joint, ready for installation.

Can I install this myself?

While technically possible for experienced hobbyists, suspension work requires specialized tools, safety knowledge, and a professional alignment post-installation. We recommend professional fitting.

Which side does this fit?

This part is designed specifically for the front axle, lower position, on the right side of the vehicle.

Do I need to replace both sides?

It is standard practice in automotive suspension to replace control arms in pairs to ensure balanced handling and even tire wear.

Troubleshooting

Clunking noise remains after installation

Check that all mounting bolts are torqued to factory specifications and inspect the anti-roll bar links as they are often replaced alongside control arms.

Vehicle pulling to one side

Ensure a professional wheel alignment has been completed; the vehicle will not track correctly until the geometry is reset.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Side-specific design requires careful verification before ordering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, verify that the FCA7267 matches your specific vehicle's requirements by checking the MPN and the interchange references (5Q0407152G, 5Q0407152J). The part is intended for the front lower position on the right side only.

Installation Steps

  1. Secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands.
  2. Remove the wheel and associated suspension components to expose the old control arm.
  3. Disconnect the ball joint from the hub carrier.
  4. Remove the mounting bolts securing the arm to the subframe.
  5. Install the new FCA7267, torqueing all bolts to the manufacturer's specified values while the suspension is at its normal ride height.
  6. Perform a professional four-wheel alignment to ensure correct geometry.

Care

Periodically inspect the rubber bushings and ball joint dust covers for signs of cracking or grease leakage to prevent premature failure.
