just spoke to gsf for price on rear beam bushes,and they said £8.50 each! does that sound right? are they any good? :undecided:
yet spoke to vw for a price on supply and fit and they wanted £360.00.
car is off the road now as metal is rubbing metal...not looking forward to doing the job..

GSF generally sell the same parts, in fact, I bought some parts of them are they were in VW dealershop boxes. 

the dealers are known for overcharging anyways and I've never had an issue with GSF parts, use them all the time.

Still better to fit genuine bushes, not really a job you want to be doing twice.  :smiley:

If I remember correctly about £40 a side for genuine ones.

They are a b*tch to fit, I removed the axle and used a very big vise.
