2012 Passat TDI SEL
The rear bushing of the driver's side control arm that is bolted to the body side of the car failed and ripped pretty badly. I was getting knocking noises while driving. This is the nearest -to-the-rear vertical bushing, not the front, closet-to-the-motor horizontal one. Anybody have lower control arm failures on their 2012+ Passats?
This is my wife's car and she says she hasn't hit anything or had a traumatic pothole attack her while driving.
I have the old control arm and the rubber looks very old and weathered.
Got a couple of photos, any way to upload images to this post?
