Sport Lower Control Arm Kit

The CTS Turbo B8/B8.5 Audi A4/S4/A5/S5/RS5/Q5/SQ5 and C7 Audi A6/A7/S6/S7/RS7 65D Sport Lower Control Arm Kit replaces the original control arms, which often feature soft rubber or hydraulic bushings that can deflect under load. This deflection can stress other suspension components and reduce cornering performance. CTS Turbo's upgraded control arms utilize sturdier 65A durometer solid rubber bushings, designed to enhance confidence and stability during cornering while maintaining a street-sport specification to minimize additional noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). These arms are a direct replacement for factory parts and include all necessary installation hardware. The 65A durometer bushings provide a more performance-oriented feel compared to the stock components, addressing common issues like worn rubber and loose ball joints that lead to degraded performance and longevity, especially in demanding driving conditions. **Important Fitment Note:** This kit is specifically designed for vehicles equipped with M14 lower ball joints, which are typically found on models produced AFTER November 2009, identifiable by M14 ball joints on larger control arms and 75mm inner bushings. It does NOT fit early 2009 production models. Always verify your vehicle's specifications before ordering. **Installation Requirements:** Proper installation is crucial. All suspension components must be compressed to static ride height before fully tightening any suspension hardware, following factory procedures. Failure to do so can result in premature bushing failure, voiding the warranty. Professional installation is required, and a wheel alignment is mandatory after installation.
