6Q0411314Q 6Q0411314M 17 mm Front Stabilizer Bar Bushing for VW Polo: Diagnosis and OE Fitment Guide

QUICK ANSWER

Confirmed wear or movement at a 17 mm front stabilizer-bar bushing should be confirmed through physical inspection and the workshop checks appropriate to this component before a replacement part is ordered. The same symptom can have more than one cause, so compare the installed component, all OE references, connections and vehicle information.

WHAT THIS PART DOES

The 17 mm Front Stabilizer Bar Bushing supports a 17 mm front stabilizer bar on specified Volkswagen Group small-platform vehicles while allowing controlled bar rotation and isolating road vibration. Its role does not prove that it is the cause of a customer complaint; diagnosis must connect the observed fault to this component.

SYMPTOM SNAPSHOT

• The 17 mm bushing rubber is cracked, split, compressed or separated
• Controlled inspection confirms movement between the front stabilizer bar and bushing
• A knock over uneven roads is localized to a front stabilizer-bushing bracket
• Polished bar contact, displaced rubber or bracket witness marks are visible at this bushing

These symptoms are diagnostic clues, not a guarantee that this part has failed.

DIAGNOSIS BEFORE ORDERING

1. Support the vehicle safely and inspect both front stabilizer bushings because two are normally used on the axle
2. Measure the stabilizer bar at the clean bushing seat rather than estimating diameter from the old rubber opening
3. Confirm the measured bar is 17 mm and compare the approximately 35 mm bushing width, split orientation and bracket seating
4. Use controlled bar movement to confirm clearance without damaging the bar or bracket
5. Exclude stabilizer links, control-arm bushings, strut mounts, ball joints and loose subframe hardware as other noise paths
6. Confirm model platform, suspension PR code, production date and VIN before ordering because nearby bushing suffixes use different diameters
7. Install with the specified bracket orientation and fastener procedure, then verify both sides of the axle

Every verified OE reference from the product record is retained. Revision letters and alternate numbers must not be discarded during comparison.

OE-SPECIFIC BUYING CHECK

• Parts catalogs identify 6Q0411314Q as a 17 mm front-axle stabilizer-bar rubber bushing for specified Volkswagen Group small-platform applications, including Volkswagen Polo variants.
• Application and aftermarket cross-reference data link 6Q0411314Q with 6Q0411314M for the same 17 mm bushing specification.
• Replacement specifications place this rubber bushing at the front axle on both left and right sides, normally requiring two pieces per axle, with published width around 35 mm.
• Nearby 6Q0-family stabilizer bushings use different internal diameters, so the installed clean bar seat must measure 17 mm before this suffix pair is selected.
• Parts references identify 6Q0411314M as a 17 mm front stabilizer bushing and associate it with the later or alternate 6Q0411314Q reference.
• The listing's Volkswagen Jetta application is not used because the verified evidence supports Volkswagen Polo and related small-platform applications but does not establish Jetta fitment for this exact 17 mm bushing.
• Measure the installed stabilizer-bar diameter and compare bushing width, split orientation, bracket fit, PR code and VIN before ordering; model name alone cannot distinguish nearby diameter variants.

Model names are reference points only. Production date, engine, market specification and connector changes can affect compatibility.

WHEN REPLACEMENT IS JUSTIFIED

Replacement is reasonable when inspection or workshop testing confirms damage or a functional failure that matches the role of this component. If the evidence conflicts with the product function, continue diagnosis instead of replacing the part.
