This Prothane control arm bushing (catalog SKU 036YQ) is listed for the 1975-1984 Volkswagen Rabbit and Jetta. Control arm bushings sit at the pivots where each control arm meets the chassis, so they keep the wheel located as the suspension travels up and down. Fresh bushings are an affordable way to firm up an older car that knocks over bumps or drifts off line when you brake. It is a good match for street cars and older vehicles where the steering has gone vague or clunky.
