VW Trailing Arm Bushing - Genuine VW 3QF505541

Product Information

Volkswagen Trailing Arms diagram for Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport

The suspension trailing arm bushing is a key component that connects the trailing arm to the vehicle’s chassis, allowing controlled movement and reducing vibration. Made from durable rubber or polyurethane bonded to a metal sleeve, it absorbs road shock, minimizes noise, and maintains proper suspension alignment. By cushioning the link between the suspension and frame, the trailing arm bushing helps ensure ride comfort, stability, and even tire wear.

• Clunking or knocking noises from the rear suspension – caused by excessive play in a worn bushing.
• Uneven tire wear or poor alignment – results from compromised suspension geometry.
• Loose, unstable, or wandering handling – due to reduced control and support in the suspension system.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
