Product Information

Full details

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.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this bushing compatible with the rear axle?

No, this specific part is engineered exclusively for the front axle, lower section of the Volkswagen Transporter IV.

Do I need to replace both sides at once?

It is highly recommended to replace bushings in pairs (left and right) to ensure balanced suspension geometry and even tire wear.

Does the package include mounting bolts?

No, the package includes the bushing only. Check your existing hardware for signs of wear and replace if necessary.

Can I use a hammer to install this?

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.

What model years does this fit?

This part is designed for Volkswagen Transporter IV series models from 1999 onwards.

Do I need a professional alignment after installation?

Yes, whenever suspension components are replaced, a professional alignment is necessary to prevent premature tire wear.

Troubleshooting

Difficult to press into control arm

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.

Persistent vibration after installation

Verify the control arm bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification. Loose mounting hardware can simulate a faulty bushing.

Bush appears loose in the arm

Confirm that the control arm eyelet has not been stretched or deformed during the removal of the old bushing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality construction for long service life
  • Universal fit for left or right side applications
  • Exact dimensions ensure a secure, rattle-free fit
  • Restores original handling characteristics of the VW Transporter IV

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade hydraulic press tools for installation
  • Not compatible with all Transporter generations
  • Suspension work requires alignment verification post-installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
