VW Trailing Arm Bushing - VNE 5Q0505541A

Product Information

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 VNE

VNE GmbH was founded in 2001 by Volker Natorp in Hamburg, Germany. Volker has a long, storied history in the automotive field. He began his career in the 1970s working for Wulf Gaertner and in the 1990s eventually branched out on his own to start his own sales repping agency. During that time, he represented TMD Friction (Pagid/Textar) and managed all of the North American sales for them and eventually added Schaeffler Automotive to his roster.

In 2007, VNE GmbH relocated to Ganderkesee, Germany and was renamed VNE Automotive GmbH & Co. With continuous growth, the decision was made to solely focus on developing VNE Automotive and, in 2014, the focus became reality with the commissioning of a new warehouse and office space. Today, VNE Automotive prides itself on never having followed the aftermarket trend. VNE Automotive operates in a highly specialized, niche product sector, by only offering OEM automotive spare parts to more than 50 countries worldwide. This is evident from the unique, and sometimes hard to find, product groups spanning engine management, body electrical, and brake systems.
