Dorman 538-040 Suspension Subframe Bushing
Dorman 538-040 is a suspension subframe bushing built as a standard replacement for the original equipment part on select Volkswagen applications. It is precision-engineered and tested for reliable fitment in the rear forward subframe position on Volkswagen CC, Passat CC, and Passat models.
Key Features
- OE-style suspension subframe bushing for specific Volkswagen vehicles
- Fits the rear forward position
- Constructed with aluminum, rubber, and plastic materials
- Black and silver finish
- Pressed-in bushing design
- Standard replacement grade
- Part number 538-040 for direct identification
Detailed Description
This suspension subframe bushing is engineered for Volkswagen CC, Passat CC, and Passat models that use the rear forward mounting location. Dorman 538-040 is built to match the original equipment application with the correct inside diameter, outside diameter, and overall height for proper subframe support. The mixed-material construction helps restore the connection between the subframe and chassis where wear can affect ride quality and alignment stability. This part cross-references Volkswagen OE number 3C0505145 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive movement in the rear forward subframe mounting point
- Clunking or knocking from worn suspension bushings
- Loose-feeling rear suspension response
- Alignment changes caused by deteriorated subframe support
- Wear-related vibration transferred through the chassis
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2012-2017 Volkswagen CC, rear forward. Fits 2009-2012 Volkswagen Passat CC, rear forward. Fits 2006-2010 Volkswagen Passat, rear forward. This is a pressed-in bushing, so removal and installation typically require proper suspension service tools and careful alignment during assembly. Verify the rear forward position and confirm dimensions before installation. Part number 538-040 should be matched to the vehicle application and OE reference before service.
Quality Assurance
Dorman manufactures this subframe bushing as a tested replacement part for specific OE applications. The design is focused on dimensional accuracy and dependable service in the intended Volkswagen fitments.
