TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The trailing arm runs longitudinally within the rear suspension assembly.

Its functions include:

• Locating the rear wheel assembly

• Controlling forward and rearward wheel movement

• Maintaining correct rear suspension geometry

• Transferring braking and suspension loads

• Supporting stable wheel alignment

• Working together with the remaining multi-link suspension arms and rear subframe

Correct condition of the arm and its mounting points is important for predictable handling and tyre wear.

REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM INFORMATION

The Tiguan MK2 uses several separate links and control arms within its rear suspension system.

This component is the:

REAR RIGHT LONGITUDINAL / TRAILING ARM

It should not be confused with the smaller:

• Upper control arms

• Camber links

• Toe-control links

• Rear subframe

• Wheel-bearing carrier

• Anti-roll-bar links

COMMON REASONS FOR REPLACEMENT

• Arm bent following accident or kerb impact

• Damaged suspension mounting point

• Excessive bush wear

• Corrosion

• Rear suspension damage

• Wheel alignment problems

• Damaged bolt mounting points

• Replacement during major rear suspension repair

COMMON SYMPTOMS / POSSIBLE FAULTS

A damaged or worn rear suspension arm may contribute to:

• Rear suspension knocking

• Poor rear-wheel alignment

• Uneven tyre wear

• Vehicle instability

• Rear wheel sitting incorrectly in the wheel arch

• Abnormal movement under braking

• Difficulty achieving correct wheel alignment

These symptoms can also be caused by other rear suspension components, so inspection is recommended before replacement.

IMPORTANT DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION

If the arm has been damaged following an impact, also inspect:

• Rear subframe

• Wheel hub/carrier

• Remaining suspension links

• Shock absorber

• Spring

• Wheel bearing

• Bushes

• Mounting bolts

• Body mounting points

Suspension geometry should be checked after accident-related repairs.

INSTALLATION

Professional installation is recommended.

Suspension bolts must be tightened using the correct manufacturer procedure and torque specifications.

Where Volkswagen specifies stretch or single-use suspension fasteners, new bolts/nuts should be installed rather than reusing the originals.

Final tightening of bonded-rubber suspension bushes should be performed at the specified suspension position where required.

A four-wheel alignment / rear suspension geometry check is recommended following installation.

PROGRAMMING / CODING

No programming or coding required.

This is a mechanical suspension component.
