Repair

Risk Warning

If a Volkswagen has an upper arm bush problem, it can cause a variety of issues. The bush is an important part of the suspension system, and its failure can cause the vehicle to show signs of instability while driving. Without the bush, the car may feel “loose” while taking turns, and the steering wheel may repeatedly drift off to one side. This can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, leading to a potential accident. Additionally, the bush problem may lead to premature tire wear due to misalignment. The tires may not be able to maintain adequate contact with the road surface, which can reduce the car’s stopping power. Therefore, it is important to get the problem fixed as soon as possible.
