Title: worn bushes
Post by: jamie16v on 02 January 2010, 19:10

At the moment my car handles like a brothels matress, i know the front ARB bushes need doing and thought while i was at it, i should replace as much as i can.
being a family man ond on a low income i am on quite a tight budget so can`t afford all this polyurethene  harshy stuff..
i have already bought the dogbone bush (yep, its poly but hey lol)
so, i want to replace :
1, Wishbone bushes.
2, rear axle bushes.
3, Front ARB bushes and droplinks.
4, front top mounts and bearings
5, rear top mounts.

my question is, what to replace with what?  heard of many combo`s but cant remember what bush from what car goes where?.. any help would be appreciated and prices would be a great help too..
also is it really worth replacing the sub frame bushes?..
thanks in advance, jamie.

You will have to buy them from the specific dealers.

Or find a TPS around your area

just looking at vwspares.co.uk and was wondering about the droplinks, will the early 4mo droplinks fit the FWD models?.. as they are metal and the fwd ones are plastic?...
