Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and disconnect the brake calipers.
2. Remove Old Arm: Loosen the mounting bolts, carefully detach the old control arm, and note the orientation of bushings and linkages.
3. Position New Arm: Align the Metzger 58083604 with the chassis mounting points. Ensure that the bushing seats properly against the suspension frame.
4. Tighten Bolts: Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to manufacturer specifications (typically 120 Nm).
5. Reassemble Components: Reinstall brake calipers, wheels, and any associated linkages. Verify that the arm is free of play.
6. Alignment Check: Perform a wheel alignment to confirm proper camber, caster, and toe settings.

Benefits for Performance Vehicles

• Enhanced Handling: The precise geometry of the arm reduces unwanted side‑to‑side movement, giving drivers confidence in cornering.
• Improved Durability: Alloy construction withstands high stresses from aggressive driving and off‑road use.
• Consistent Ride Quality: Lower unsprung mass translates to smoother ride characteristics and better traction.
• Long-Term Reliability: Corrosion‑resistant coating ensures longevity even in harsh climates.

Compatibility Summary

The Metzger 58083604 is specifically engineered for the following models:

• Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, A8
