Reinforced PU Billet Control Arm Bushings – for VW Golf Mk5 / Mk6 (PQ35 Platform)
OEM Reference Numbers: 1K0199231J (left), 1K0199232J (right)
Product Overview:
Upgrade your suspension with our high-performance reinforced PU billet control arm bushings, specifically designed for the Volkswagen PQ35 platform. These bushings replace the factory rubber mounts with precision CNC-machined billet aluminum housings and high-quality polyurethane inserts for enhanced durability, sharper handling, and improved vehicle control under load.
OEM rubber bushings tend to deform and wear out quickly under the stress of tuned engines, lowered suspensions, or spirited driving. Our PU bushings solve this issue by offering superior stiffness, resistance to wear and weather, and a longer service life – all while maintaining compatibility with your factory control arms.
Key Features:
- Direct replacement for factory rubber bushings – plug & play installation
- High-performance polyurethane for optimal rigidity and long-term durability
- Billet CNC aluminum housings for strength and precision fit
- Minimizes suspension flex and maintains consistent geometry under load
- Improves turn-in response, stability, and overall handling feel
- Reduces bushing deformation and eliminates unwanted play
Technical Specifications:
- Material: CNC-machined billet aluminum + PU core
- PU Shore Hardness: Approx. 75A–80A (performance-rated)
- Position: Front axle – rear mount of lower control arms (left and right)
- Installation: Plug & Play – hydraulic press recommended for proper fitment
- Weather and chemical resistant – built to last in all conditions
Vehicle Compatibility:
- Volkswagen Golf Mk5 (1K) & Mk6 (5K)
- Audi A3 (8P), TT (8J)
- Seat Leon (1P), Altea, Toledo
- Skoda Octavia II (1Z), Superb II, Yeti
- And other vehicles based on the VW PQ35 chassis
Recommended For:
- Performance builds with engine tuning or forced induction
- Lowered vehicles or those with coilovers or sport suspensions
- Track day, autocross, or aggressive street driving
- Drivers seeking sharper handling and more direct road feedback
Why Upgrade?
Factory rubber bushings are designed for comfort, not performance. Under high loads or with modified vehicles, they deteriorate quickly – leading to imprecise steering, excessive movement, and degraded handling. Our PU billet bushings eliminate these weaknesses by delivering:
- More precise handling and turn-in
- Consistent suspension alignment under load
- Extended bushing life – even in harsh conditions
- Improved driver confidence and feedback
Whether you're building a performance street car or prepping for the next track day, these control arm bushings provide a significant upgrade over OEM parts – without compromising daily drivability.
