Just got my coilies fitted, and found out my passenger side wishbone bush is f**ked, it knocks when driving over small humps or bumpy roads, should i polybush or oem ?
Another issue is that when taking a right at a speed of say about 20 - 30mph that passenger side wheel side vibrates as if something is hitting it while turning, now i am curious to whether this is the wishbone bush or something else ?
Any advice
thanks

Start with the bushes if they are dead.
Id go for superpro ones.

tbh i dont know, i mean geoff at havair did check and said it was fine, he even tested it before he took payment, he said that the only possible thing that it could be is the wishbone rear bush, but the vibration is disgusting, mrs got scared, thought the tyre came of at one point lol

which one should i order and are they hard to change, can it be done by myself ?

i think the polys bushes are easier to fit, i would do all the wish bone bushers if your fitting then not just the back

Superpro kit is about £55 for both front and rear on both sides.
Mine are spot on. Wouldnt even know they were uprated!

Awesome GTI price matched it. There's a thread about it by me over on uk-mk4s

did you fit it your self mate, apparently the rear bush on the wishbone hammers out and the new polybush ones fit in with a vice etc....
Is that correct ?

Found out today that its the actual shocks on the coilovers that are buggered, instead of just going up n down, they also move side to side, thats were the nocking is coming from, and this is also creating vibration when turning.
So i payed £100 for two front new ones, send of the old and receive refund however i get the feelings its not exactly going to work like that, anyways we will see what happens :undecided:

My car is on coilovers and I had to have my wishbones poly bushed because it just kept tearing the standards, and also I had a new anti roll bar fitted with bigger loops to pass over the driveshaft.
Never had a problem since, this was about 14 months ago 9000k

TT mk1 front ARB about £80 from dealer, front wishbones TTmk1, shortened drop links, S3 upper and lower braces, whiteline RARB package £180 and upper brace £70, car will be on tracks around corners, mate did this to his and hes now getting the panel and side braces fitted, car is solid and there is NO twisting at all :wink: i suggest ARB's wheels and then coilovers as you then know how your car will handle in stages and whats best for it, you might want to get the ARB's sorted out asap as you may not be getting everything out of what youve got. my personal opinion btw
