The part is built to the following specification: Fitting Position: Front Left, Material: Steel, Control/Trailing Arm Type: Steel, Supplementary Article/Info 2: 0, Supplementary Article/Info 2: Steel. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time.
