Product Information
Full details
The First Line FCA7267 Control Arm is an essential suspension component designed for vehicle owners and mechanics performing front-end repairs on compatible platforms like the VW Golf and Skoda Octavia. It provides precise wheel alignment and handling stability by integrating a high-quality trailing arm and ball joint assembly, though users should confirm exact chassis compatibility as these parts are side-specific.

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.

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
- Secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands.
- Remove the wheel and associated suspension components to expose the old control arm.
- Disconnect the ball joint from the hub carrier.
- Remove the mounting bolts securing the arm to the subframe.
- Install the new FCA7267, torqueing all bolts to the manufacturer's specified values while the suspension is at its normal ride height.
- 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.
