LEMFÖRDER 38275 01 Control Arm-/Trailing Arm Bush For LAND ROVER LR4 IV SUV

Product Overview

The LEMFÖRDER 38275 01 Control Arm-/Trailing Arm Bush is a high‑performance suspension component specifically engineered for the Land Rover LR4 IV SUV (model code L319) produced between 2009 and 2018. This part serves as a critical link in both the front and rear axle assemblies, ensuring optimal vehicle dynamics, ride comfort, and handling precision.

Key Functional Role

The control arm bush acts as a suspension pivot point, allowing the control arm to move smoothly while maintaining precise alignment of the wheel assembly. It also absorbs road shocks and dampens vibrations that would otherwise be transmitted directly to the vehicle chassis.

Material Composition & Construction

This bush is fabricated from a high‑grade polyurethane elastomer encapsulated within a robust steel housing. The combination of durable polymer and metal provides:

• Excellent wear resistance, extending service life even under harsh off‑road conditions.
• Low friction coefficient, reducing energy loss during suspension travel.
• Temperature stability, maintaining consistent performance across a wide range of climates.

Design Features

• Dual‑side compatibility: Available for both left and right sides, ensuring symmetrical handling.
• Universal fitment for front and rear axles, making it a versatile replacement part across the LR4 IV platform.
• Pre‑assembled mounting hardware (bolts and washers) included in the package to simplify installation.

Installation & Compatibility

The LEMFÖRDER 38275 01 is designed for straightforward replacement. Mechanics typically follow these steps:

1. Secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands.
2. Remove the existing control arm bush by loosening the mounting bolts.
3. Align the new bush with the control arm and axle assembly.
4. Tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.

Because it matches the original Land Rover specification, no additional modifications or custom tooling are required.

Performance Benefits

• Enhanced Ride Comfort: The polyurethane core absorbs road irregularities more effectively than standard rubber bushings.
• Improved Handling Stability: Precise pivot points reduce unwanted camber changes during cornering, leading to tighter steering response.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Longer service intervals mean fewer replacements and lower long‑term ownership expenses.

Applications Beyond the LR4 IV

While optimized for the Land Rover LR4 IV, this bush is also compatible with other models that share similar suspension geometry, including:

• Land Rover Discovery III (L319) 2004‑2009
• Various Land Rover SUV platforms requiring control arm or trailing arm bushes

Quality Assurance & Compliance

The component meets all relevant automotive standards for safety and durability. It is manufactured under strict quality control processes, ensuring each unit delivers consistent performance across the entire production batch.

Certification Highlights

• ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing facility.
• Compliance with Land Rover OEM specifications for suspension parts.
• Rigorous testing under simulated off‑road and on‑road conditions.

Maintenance Tips

Although the bush is designed to last, regular inspection can preempt potential issues:

• Check for visible cracks or hardening of the polyurethane core during routine service checks.
• Inspect mounting bolts for proper torque and replace if any signs of wear are observed.
• Avoid exposing the component to extreme temperatures or chemical solvents that could degrade the elastomer.

Conclusion

The LEMFÖRDER 38275 01 Control Arm-/Trailing Arm Bush delivers a blend of durability, performance, and ease of installation for Land Rover LR4 IV owners. Its high‑quality construction ensures that your vehicle maintains optimal handling characteristics while providing a comfortable ride across diverse terrains.
