The MEYLE control arm mounting bush (MPN: 100 407 0053) is a high-quality replacement component designed specifically for Volkswagen Transporter IV series owners seeking to restore suspension precision and ride comfort. It is ideal for DIY mechanics or professional shops performing front-end suspension maintenance on Transporter Bus, Kastenwagen, or Pritsche/Fahrgestell variants from 1999 onwards. While it offers excellent durability and precise dimensions, it requires specialized equipment for proper pressing into the control arm assembly.

No, this specific part is engineered exclusively for the front axle, lower section of the Volkswagen Transporter IV.
It is highly recommended to replace bushings in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced suspension geometry and even tire wear.
No, the package includes the bushing only. Check your existing hardware for signs of wear and replace if necessary.
Using a hammer is not recommended as it may damage the rubber or deform the metal casing of the bushing; a hydraulic press is the preferred method.
This part is designed for Volkswagen Transporter IV series models from 1999 onwards.
Yes, whenever suspension components are replaced, a professional alignment is necessary to prevent premature tire wear.
Ensure the control arm eyelet is cleaned of rust and debris. Apply a thin layer of rubber-safe lubricant to the outer surface of the bush.
Verify the control arm bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification. Loose mounting hardware can simulate a faulty bushing.
Confirm that the control arm eyelet has not been stretched or deformed during the removal of the old bushing.
To install this bushing, the control arm must be removed from the vehicle. Due to the tight tolerances (40 mm outer diameter), a hydraulic press is strongly recommended to avoid damaging the new bush during insertion. Lubricate the metal housing slightly with appropriate suspension-grade grease to facilitate installation. Once installed, it is vital to have the vehicle's wheel alignment checked, as the removal and reinstallation of front suspension components can alter steering geometry. Periodic inspection of the bushing during regular oil changes is recommended to check for cracking or premature rubber separation.
