Description
Improve the handling, precision, and suspension geometry of your MQB-platform Audi or Volkswagen with the 034Motorsport Spherical Rear Trailing Arm Upgrade Kit. This performance upgrade replaces the factory rubber trailing arm bushings with high-quality Aurora spherical bearings, delivering sharper response and a more planted feel through corners.
Factory-installed rubber bushings tend to deflect under load, which can cause vague rear-end behavior, reduced suspension accuracy, and increased understeer—especially during spirited driving or on uneven surfaces. This OEM bushing was used across several MQB vehicles including the Audi A3, RS3, TT, and Volkswagen Golf, GTI, and R, leaving significant room for improvement for performance enthusiasts.
034Motorsport addresses this limitation by offering a trailing arm solution built for precision. The included genuine Aurora spherical bearings eliminate deflection, allowing the suspension to articulate freely without introducing slop or play. Unlike polyurethane bushings, which may still bind under movement, these spherical bearings maintain consistent performance while being fully rebuildable for long-term reliability.
Each kit comes pre-assembled with new factory steel trailing arms, ensuring a simple and direct bolt-in installation with no pressing required.
