Whiteline Rear Control Arm Upper Inner Bushing – 2006-2014 Volkswagen GTI / Golf / Golf Plus

Restore Rear Geometry Precision on Your MK5/MK6 VW
The rear upper control arm inner bushing on the 2006-2014 Volkswagen GTI, Golf, and Golf Plus is the chassis-side mount of the rear upper arm. When this bushing wears, the arm can shift at its inner pivot under cornering loads, allowing rear camber variation that affects tyre contact and rear axle consistency. Whiteline’s polyurethane replacement restores the geometric precision these platforms require.

DETAILS

• Polyurethane compound for rear upper control arm inner position
• Fits 2006-2014 Volkswagen GTI, Golf, and Golf Plus (MK5/MK6)
• Reduces rear camber variation under cornering loads
• Improves rear axle precision and handling consistency
• Limited Lifetime Warranty

MK5/MK6 Rear Upper Arm Wear Profile
The MK5 and MK6 Golf family is a broad platform used across multiple trim levels. Performance variants like the GTI and Golf R are driven harder and accumulate bushing wear faster. High-mileage examples of any variant show wear at the upper arm inner position that affects rear axle precision.

Upper Inner and Its Effect on Geometry
The inner mount of the rear upper arm is a pivot point for the arm’s lateral movement. When worn, angular play here allows the arm to shift under load, changing rear camber dynamically. Polyurethane eliminates that play and keeps camber consistent through the cornering cycle.

Part of the MK5/MK6 Rear Bushing Package
Whiteline covers all MK5/MK6 rear arm positions. The upper inner bushing is most effective when installed alongside the upper outer, lower outer, and lower inner positions for a complete rear suspension refresh.

Why Choose Whiteline

Whiteline has been engineering suspension components from their facility in Australia since 1979. Every product in their catalog is developed with a clear goal: measurable improvement in handling, stability, and tyre contact. Whiteline’s polyurethane bushings, sway bars, control arms, and alignment correction kits are engineered using finite element analysis and validated on track before they reach the market. Their components are direct-fit, bolt-on solutions designed for enthusiasts who want real performance gains without fabrication or custom work.

The RallySport Take

A targeted rear geometry bushing for the widely popular MK5/MK6 Golf platform. Budget an afternoon for the job — bushing replacement is not complicated but does require the correct press tools and clean installation technique. Apply grease to all polyurethane-to-metal interfaces and assemble at ride height for correct bushing set. The improvement in chassis feel is immediate and the polyurethane will outlast whatever rubber is in there now.
