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.

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
