#1: Track Control Arms Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Thu May 15, 2014 7:06 am ---- Did a search but as you'd expect it came back with a lot of posts ...
So simple question:
What is the difference between a GTI and non-GTI track control arm aka suspension arm
Is it just the two big mounting bushes???
TIA!

Do you mean the lower wishbone? I think GTi has different inserts.

Thanks Macca, that's what I thought. I guess they are stronger because the non-GTI ones last less than two years on our CC!
I checked ServiceBox and it gives two part numbers for our CC and our small HDi ... my assumption is those marketing "GTI arms" actually don't know the difference ... or sell cheaper non-GTI ones for GTI prices!!!

In my experience the track control arm comes from the steering box and connects to the track rod end and can be adjusted to control the tracking of the vehicle.
