The CLUNK appears to have been dispatched.  :grin:

In addition, I now appear to have pretty much razor-sharp steering responses.  Beavis came out on the test run with me and said it was apparent how much sharper it was from the passenger seat.

Dead chuffed with the mod, although the question remains - was it the TT rear bush, or the welding up of the control arms that made the difference?

Bah, who cares, it's all good.

Send me your control arms and bushes when you're ready and I'll stitch them and press the bushes in if you want.  If doesn't take long.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. Will probably be sometime in the new year.

it will be the welding because the tt bushes wont be as good for steering as the poly bushes. im surprised you didnt just replace it

Well it's done in-as-much as it drives bloody well and can be thrown around a track with impunity, but it's an ongoing project, so in that way, no, it will never be done.

cos its rubber duh

it's a solid as a rock single piece of rubber with a smaller surface area than the poly.. its not got much area to move or flex like a standard golf 2 bush.. it fits the S3 as well which I imagine from the factory to be made pretty firm and tough..
