Verkline MQB MK7 Golf Anti-Squat Billet Rear Trailing Arm with Spherical Bushing

Product Ref: WAS-041

Anti-squat suspensions are used to reduce body squat by altering the rear suspension so that the forces resulting from accelerating pass through the control arms and suspension linkage rather than through the coilovers or struts.

In MQB rear suspension we can define the anti-squat by inclination of a line which connects the wheel centre and chassis mounting point of the trailing arm. Most of the cars are lowered with aftermarket suspension components. It causes excessive suspension displacement under acceleration and reduces responsiveness.

To correct this Verkline have come up with an adjustable rear trailing arm. When the wishbone in the car is used in +20 setup anti-squat value is corrected back to factory settings.

If the car wishbone is used in +40 setup anti-squat value. It makes suspension move even less, thus resulting in faster response of the car from stand still or when exiting the corner. Also when there is less suspension movement camber and toe are less affected (better predictability of the car).

With the increase of anti-squat you also get higher values of rear anti-lift. It keeps your rear suspension low under braking, which increases grip and car predictability. This allows you to brake later and go into a corner with higher speed and confidence.

Product functionalities:
– 3 position anti-squat and anti-lift adjustability (0, +20, +40)
– OEM wishbone bends during normal operation and this increases when the car is lowered or camber/toe is increased. Our CNC billet wishbone has spherical bearings to avoid that and it is also big increase of stiffness results in better handling in corner exit and under acceleration.
– High quality, metal spherical bearings instead of rubber bushings, so You will not lose the geometry set when doing alignment.
– Same weight as OEM regarding additional functionality
