Help with My Polybushed Wishbones

[Simon8v91]

The wishbones are not sided even though they look slightly different top and bottom.  The new VW one are like this aswell.

However, one of your rear (large) polybushes is the wrong way round.  I will try and find out which one it is for you

Well i have just done some digging as i have 2 part numbers here the O.E. part number is 191407153 which i cant seem to find listed on any UK sites as a vw number, then there is a second part number which is 407260002. If you look on this website (which is in french btw) http://www.automotor-france.net/pdf/pieces_de_suspension_&_de_direction/volkswagen_direction_&_suspension.pdf i can remember enough to know that Droit and Gauche means left and right. The ones i have are the 191407153 which is left but thers also a 191407153A which is right but i dont have so my ones do seem to be sided and also are for a 17mm balljoint. I have two left hand ones.

The ones i should have according to vagcat is 191407151B which arnt sided and have a 19mm balljoint

send them back to where you got them from and get your money back they are obviously the wrong ones

Oh believe me i intend to

With reference to my earlier post the bushes may well be right as long as the larger diameter washer is located next to the radiused edge.  See http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85132

The part number for new mk2 wishbones is 191 407 151 B - just checked an invoice.  The designation A or B does not mean left or right but can mean how many times VW have revised / improved the part.  Not sure about 191 407 153 - mk3? Polo?

a 191 prefix is mk2.. *checksitout*

apaprently it doesnt exist.. Blodoy ETKA 

[Simon8v91]

171 407 153 is mk1 but what 191 407 153 is I dont know 

edit: if they were sided the last number (not letter) would differ for left and right.

Yer thiis is what strikes me as bein strange,cant find it listed on any uk sites but its on all the foreign ones e.g in that link i posted

[Simon8v91]

Found it! 

Your unknown part number 191 407 153 is a mounting kit for mk2 wishbones

The VW kit is probably a deleted item which is why its hard to find reference to it.

I think your wishbones pictured are correct, but check the bush fitment.

Ah nice one simon your a star, everytime i searched for it it just threw back foreign sites. Ok i'll double check the bush fitment to make sure, again thanks very much.
