Hey YouTube,

Here is a quick and easy tutorial on replacing your Front Lower Control Arm Bushings on your 20122015 VW Passat TDI. You can decide if you want to just swap the bushings out or replace the entire arms. We show you step by step on how to get this job done quickly.

These Control Arms were also used on the 20122019 Beetle and the B7/B7.5 Passat from 20162021 so the removal and installation will be very similar depending on your engine style.
