Title: Rear bush query...
Post by: Wazzzer on 22 May 2009, 18:29
Does anyone know where these fit in relation to the rear beam?

They are the front wishbone rear bushes by the looks, stock photo though that doesn't look like the actual bush

I thought they were a bit cheap for rear beam bushes

I've just looked through your thread re: all the replaceable bushes, an excellent read  :cool:

I'm in the process of getting some new wishbones and the TT bushes to press in sometime at work

Did you have any pics of the Fabia rear beam bush to compare to the Leon bush?

right just been on vwspares.co.uk and I'm just about to order a set of Fabia VRS rear beam bushes and some TT front wishbone rear bushes. I'm not gonna bother getting new wishbones, I can live without the Golf for a day or so and get the bushes pressed in at work then put them back on later

If anyone else wants to do this the part numbers are:

26814 01 Rear Axle Bush

27132 01 Control Arm Mount

They come to the grand total of £47.55 delivered which isn't too bad

Are there any bolts I should be replacing while doing this?

Sorry mate, yes I will be, I have the added bonus of working for an engineering firm so getting them beat out and pressed in will be easy  :wink:

Looks like I will be getting the whole replacement wishbones, Rhyso has kindly pointed me in the direction of some cheaper ones  :wink:
