Suspension bush
« on: 08 October 2009, 10:41 »
My front suspension bushes are gone. I can get the arms with bushes for about £20 a side from europarts which i will pick up tonight.

Im new to golfs and was wondering what tools i will need as im going to my parents before hand to borrow some decent tools. Are they hard to change? I can see them being a bit of a b!tch???

Cheers

Depends whether you have a gti or not. Non gti arms are smaller and cheaper. You'll want a ball joint separator and a hammer.
