Baywindow Bus Rear A-Arm - 1972-79 - Left

This Genuine Volkswagen rear left A-arm is a high-quality replacement component for all Baywindow Buses from August 1971 to 1979. As a critical part of the independent rear suspension system, the A-arm supports the hub assembly and stabilises the wheel under load, maintaining correct geometry, alignment, and road handling.

Fitted on the left (passenger side on RHD models), this arm connects the rear trailing assembly to the chassis and works together with the spring plate, torsion bar and shock absorber to provide a smooth, controlled ride. Over time, original A-arms can suffer from corrosion, impact damage, or worn pivot points, leading to poor handling, wandering, uneven tyre wear, and alignment issues.

This Genuine VW A-arm is built to factory specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and long-term durability. It retains the correct mounting points, bush housings and welding seams found on original units, making it a direct bolt-on replacement during restoration or suspension overhaul.

When installing, we recommend inspecting and, if necessary, replacing:

• Pivot bushes

• Spring plate bushes

• Rear wheel bearings

• Rear shocks

• Fasteners and alignment shims

A new Genuine VW A-arm restores proper suspension movement, reduces unwanted noise, and helps return your Baywindow’s handling to how it left the factory.
