suspension etc.

I'm literally in the process now of sorting everything out to do with suspension. I've ordered a front ARB and Front Top-Mounts and Bearings

Should i be ordering Rear Top-Mounts aswell? ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK4-1-4-1-9TDI-1-8T-REAR-SHOCK-TOP-MOUNT-C394_W0QQitemZ220504914333QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item33571df99d )

And as for the Bushes, I've already had the Rear beam bushes replaced about 6-7 Months ago. So they're fine. but i remember being told to order Front Wishbone Rear Bush... How about Front wishbone bushes aswell?? Will they need changing or is it worth upgrading them? (as i will be getting Poly ones)

And then eventually i will get Coilovers and R32 Dog-Bone mount and Poly bushes for that.

Any other info would be kool... 

Cheers

What about a rear ARB?

[barry-gti]

Cheers

Dave and myself just replaced all my shocks on the weekend and in the process renewed

Front top mounts
Front bumpstops
Rear bumpstops

We also renewed the bolts holding the shocks too and this is why you should replace bolts


With regards to your wishbones - you need the Audi TT REAR wishbone bush as per this thread

Alright Kool, Cheers Rhyso. And i need bumpstops with Coilovers? Sorry i dont know much about suspension

And have you got a part number for the Bolt?

And do i not need the other Wishbone Bush aswell??

Cheers mate

[Wazzzer]

the Audi TT front wishbone REAR bush is the only one you need. The front wishbone FRONT bush won't fit as the TT wishbones are a totally different design

[Rhyso]

i'll be doing a how to of the job but here's the part numbers of the bolts we replaced

AN 102 861 10 - 44p each
AN 101 064 02 - 65p each
AN 102 078 04 - 1.72 each
AN 905 173 04 - 1.08 each

You could also replace the bolt holding the anti-roll bar drop links and the two bolts holding the rear shock in place but we didn't

We replaced the 4 shock bolts as they had been on and off the car several times

Not sure on the bumpstops with coilovers though sorry

[DarkGti]

ive got bumpstops on my front collies but cut them down about 1inch off and i dont run bumpstops on the rear!

i'd replace the front and rear wishbone bushes, if you are gonna do any

polybush ones weren't too much more when i priced it up.
