VW ID.3 Front Lower Control Arm
This VW ID.3 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 a pressed steel wishbone with both rubber mounts already pressed in. This front lower control arm is the pressed steel wishbone that links the front wheel hub to the car’s subframe.

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 ID.3 and CUPRA Born. Choose the version you need from the options above. In detail, that covers the CUPRA Born (K1) 2021 on and Volkswagen ID.3 (E1) 2019 on. Across the range, it covers versions from 93 kW to 240 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 1007605 left / 1007606 right. It replaces VW part number 1EA 407 151 B. The same part is also used by CUPRA. Check the part number on your existing part matches before ordering.
Fitting Advice
Tighten the mount bolts with the car at normal ride height so the rubber is not twisted, then have the wheel alignment checked. If the car has driver assistance systems, sensor calibration may be needed after fitting. Replacing arms on both sides keeps the handling balanced. Check the anti-roll bar links at the same time.
