End link, mating bolt, control arm and other stabilizer hardware are separate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stabilizer end link connects the bar to the suspension attachment so the assembly can respond to suspension movement. Correct mounting hardware retains the end link in its assigned connection. This locking nut is distinct from the shorter support-bracket fasteners that retain the bar bushings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther suspension positions can use similar M8 hardware with different lengths or original numbers. Match N90183803 at the actual lower control-arm connection before ordering and check the separately specified mating hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon reasons to replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenew this one-time-use nut after its connection has been released during end-link, control-arm or stabilizer service. Replace damaged threads, rounded wrenching flats, deformation, missing hardware or corrosion affecting reliable installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarlier repair work may have introduced an incorrect substitute or reused mounting fastener. Inspect the complete end-link connection and obtain the correct new hardware before refitting the components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRear suspension clunks or changes in roll behavior require diagnosis of the stabilizer bar, end links, support bushings, control arms and surrounding suspension. A new nut cannot repair a worn link joint, torn bushing, bent bar or damaged mounting hole. Resolve the diagnosed fault before completing the attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and service notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the factory procedure for the exact rear stabilizer end-link arrangement. Support the vehicle and suspension as prescribed before releasing the connection, and observe the instructions for controlling any load in the bar or link.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the lower control-arm mounting point, end-link attachment and mating hardware. Position the components correctly and start the new nut by hand on the correctly specified bolt. Do not use the fastener to force a misaligned end link into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall the correctly specified separate bolt and any other required hardware. Use the proper hex socket and follow the factory tightening sequence, suspension position, torque and any additional angle for this exact connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not transfer a tightening value from the bar support bracket, another end-link position or an unrelated M8 fastener. Follow the specified thread preparation and replacement requirements, including any instruction to renew the mating bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the connection does not seat normally, inspect component alignment and hardware selection before tightening further. Confirm that the stabilizer assembly has its required clearance through the prescribed suspension movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the required suspension operating checks after assembly. This listing supplies one original nut; order the quantity needed for the sides being serviced and select the other stabilizer hardware separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVehicle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel years\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication restrictions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen GTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2022–2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0L turbocharged gasoline, EA888 Generation 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMk8 hatchback, front-wheel drive; 6-speed manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear stabilizer bar end-link-to-lower-control-arm nut.
