VW e-up! Front Lower Control Arm
This VW e-up! front lower control arm locates the wheel and lets it move up and down with the suspension, while its bushes absorb road shocks and keep the wheel at the correct angle. Electric cars carry extra weight from their batteries, so suspension arms and their bushes work hard. It is steel with bushes fitted and comes without the ball joint.
Specifications at a glance: material steel and outside thread M8 (left).
Signs Your Front Lower Control Arm Needs Replacing
Signs of a worn control arm or bush include a clunk over bumps or when braking, vague steering, pulling to one side and uneven tyre wear. Split bushes and play in the joints are common MOT advisories. Catching these signs early usually means a simpler and cheaper repair. Electric cars are heavy and very quiet, so worn parts are often noticed sooner than on a petrol car.
Fitment
It fits the VW e-up! and e-load up!, SEAT Mii Electric, and Skoda Citigo-e iV. Choose the version you need from the options above. Across the range, it covers versions from 60 kW to 61 kW. If you are not sure which version you have, your V5C logbook and the part number on your existing part will help you match it.
Quality and Part Numbers
It is made by Febi, a long-established German parts brand, to match the original part in fit and function. That makes it a factory-quality replacement that fits without modification. The Febi part number is 40594 (left) / 40595 (right). It replaces VW part numbers 1S0 407 151 and 1S0 407 152. The same part is also used by SEAT and Skoda. As a direct replacement, it uses the same mountings and connections as the original. Check the part number on your existing part matches before ordering.
Fitting Advice
Support the car safely, remove the ball joint from the arm, and undo the arm mounting bolts. Tighten the bush bolts with the car at its normal ride height, and have the wheel alignment checked afterwards. Replacing arms on both sides keeps the handling balanced. Check the anti-roll bar links at the same time. Using the correct replacement part keeps your car working as its maker intended.
