Title: wrong bush size causing a problem
Post by: bricey on 18 December 2011, 09:31
morning all,
a few monts ago i bought some bushes for the front wishbone(rear) they where for golf gti and audi a3,
but i dont think they are the correct ones,when i had a lower ball joint replaced the other week the bloke i take to the car to do all my stuff said the bush looks to small.
now im getting some slight knocking when going over pot holes drain covers etc etc,
are the bushes different sizes between mk4 gti and r32?? (witch is what i should have bought im thinking as the 4mo and r32 are pretty much identical)...
should i replace them with powerflex ones,

Yes, the bushes are different (well superpro list a different bush for 2wd and R32)

Id go superpro - awesome bushes and made a huge difference in mine!
