LEMFÖRDER 38654 01 Track Control Arm For Volkswagen AMAROK

LEMFÖRDER 38654 01 Track Control Arm – Precision Suspension for the Volkswagen Amarok

The LEMFÖRDER 38654 01 Track Control Arm is a high‑performance suspension component engineered specifically for the Volkswagen Amarok. Designed to replace or upgrade the original front upper control arm, this part delivers superior handling, durability, and ride comfort across all driving conditions.

Key Features & Technical Highlights

• Exact Fitment: Tailored for the Amarok models equipped with the 2HA, 2HB, S1B, S6B, S7A, and S7B chassis codes from the 2010 model year onward. The part is available in left‑hand drive (LHD) configuration, ensuring seamless integration.
• Robust Construction: Manufactured from high‑strength alloy steel with a protective powder coating that resists corrosion and extends service life even under harsh off‑road conditions.
• Optimized Geometry: The arm’s geometry is engineered to maintain optimal camber angles during suspension travel, reducing tire wear and improving steering response.
• Precision Machining: Each component undergoes CNC machining to guarantee dimensional accuracy within tight tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit with the Amarok’s mounting points.
• Enhanced Load Capacity: Designed to handle increased torsional loads, making it ideal for heavy‑duty use such as towing or off‑road excursions where suspension stress is elevated.

Compatibility Overview

The LEMFÖRDER 38654 01 Track Control Arm fits the following Amarok variants:

• Chassis Codes: 2HA, 2HB, S1B, S6B, S7A, S7B (2010 and newer)
• Drive Configuration: Left‑hand drive (LHD) – the right‑hand drive (RHD) counterpart is available under a different part number.
• Axle Position: Front upper control arm on the left side of the vehicle.

Because the component is engineered to match the original mounting points and bolt patterns, it can be installed without modifying surrounding suspension geometry or requiring additional adapters.

Installation Guide (Overview)

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a stable lift or jack stands. Disconnect the battery for safety.
2. Remove Existing Arm: Detach the old upper control arm by loosening the mounting bolts and removing any retaining clips. Carefully note the orientation of the arm to aid reassembly.
3. Position the New Arm: Align the LEMFÖRDER 38654 01 with the vehicle’s mounting points. Ensure that the bolt holes line up precisely and that the arm sits flush against the steering knuckle.
4. Secure Fastening: Tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque sequence, typically using a calibrated torque wrench. Verify that all fasteners are secure before proceeding.
5. Reassemble Suspension Components: Reinstall any removed components such as sway bar links or tie‑rod ends, ensuring they are properly aligned and torqued.
6. Final Checks: Inspect the installation for proper alignment. Perform a short test drive to confirm that steering feels responsive and that there is no abnormal noise.

Benefits of Choosing LEMFÖRDER 38654 01

• Improved Handling: The precise geometry reduces unwanted camber changes, leading to more predictable cornering behavior.
• Long‑Term Durability: Powder‑coated alloy steel resists rust and wear, ensuring the arm remains functional for years of use.
• Consistent Ride Quality: By maintaining optimal suspension travel, the component helps preserve a smooth ride even when carrying heavy loads.
• Easy Replacement: The part’s design aligns with OEM specifications, allowing mechanics to swap it out quickly without extensive modifications.

Maintenance Tips

While the LEMFÖRDER 38654 01 Track Control Arm is built for longevity, routine checks can further extend its life:

• Inspect Fasteners: Periodically verify that all mounting bolts remain tight and free from corrosion.
• Check for Wear: Look for signs of metal fatigue or cracking in the arm’s body, especially if the vehicle is frequently used off‑road.
• Lubricate Pivot Points: Apply a light grease to any pivot points or bushings that may be part of the control arm assembly to reduce friction.
