This bolt retains the arm at the knuckle end. The opposite attachment at the subframe uses its own prescribed hardware and is not interchangeable merely because it belongs to the same arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mk6 catalog identifies a production-date split for this connection. A model year alone does not resolve the correct bolt on vehicles near that change. Match the build date, actual arm and knuckle, and original fastener number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon reasons to replace\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect this bolt during rear toe arm replacement, knuckle service or repairs that require the connection to be released. Replace missing hardware or bolts with damaged threads, a rounded head, deformation or corrosion that prevents proper installation. Renew removed fasteners wherever the factory procedure requires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarlier repairs can introduce the wrong length or thread into a mounting position. Compare the hardware with the specified arrangement rather than assuming a bolt that physically enters the hole is correct. Check the mating threads, nut and mounting surfaces at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUneven tire wear, an alignment concern or suspension noise requires diagnosis of the complete rear suspension. A new bolt cannot repair a worn arm bushing, bent linkage, damaged knuckle or another suspension fault. Replace or repair the diagnosed component as required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and service notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the factory rear suspension procedure for the exact vehicle and production arrangement. Support the suspension components as directed before releasing their attachment points. Preserve or record the prescribed locating arrangement during removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdentify the toe arm-to-knuckle position separately from the subframe-side connection and nearby lower arm hardware. Confirm the production date and original number, then inspect the arm, mounting bore, washer seating area and mating hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit the arm correctly and start the assigned fastener by hand. Do not use the bolt to pull a misaligned joint into position or force it through a damaged mounting point. Obtain any prescribed nut and other renewal hardware separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the factory tightening sequence, torque, angle and required suspension position for the exact attachment. Observe any instructions about final tightening at a specified ride-height position. Do not substitute a general M14 torque value or a specification for a different arm connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf replacement arms or modified suspension components are fitted, confirm their verified hardware requirements. The original bolt number does not establish compatibility with every aftermarket arm or knuckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter reassembly, complete the prescribed rear suspension checks and alignment work required by the repair. Confirm the toe arm is properly secured and all disturbed connections have their assigned hardware before returning the vehicle to service.\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\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen GTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013–2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0L turbocharged TSI gasoline, CCTA \/ CBFA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMk6 hatchback, front-wheel drive; 6-speed manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduction from September 4, 2012 only, at the original rear toe arm-to-knuckle mounting position requiring N91197801.
