When repair kit wheel suspension performance matters, the LEMFÖRDER 13978 01 delivers — built to the same dimensional and material standards as the original part it replaces. The part is built to the following specification: Fitting Position: Rear Axle, Rod/Strut: Aluminium. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. This part supersedes original equipment references: 016 098 0001, 17270, 524 242 169, 8500 12801 and 2 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function. LEMFÖRDER is a recognised supplier of automotive suspension components to independent workshops and dealer networks across Europe. All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops. If fitment or specifications do not match your vehicle, our technical team can help identify the correct alternative — use the vehicle selector or contact us with your VIN for a guaranteed-fit recommendation. Replacing worn components on schedule preserves your vehicle's safety, reliability, and resale value — and aftermarket parts from established brands deliver OEM-equivalent performance at a fraction of the dealer price.
