Install up rated bushes that are of solid rubber construction like the ones from the Audi TT which can be pressed into the original VW wishbones. Use only the rear wishbone bush as the TT front does not fit golf \ Bora wishbones

    * Audi TT Rear bush - 8N0 407 181B x 2
    * Golf Front Bush - 357 407 182 x 2

8N0 407 181B x 2 then?

I thought that was referrinf to the bushes at the rear of the car :)

Wonder if anyone knows for sure.  I checked the bushes earlier and they look pretty good!

I think I definitely need a second opinion.  I'll probably take my car to Awesome to get the front discs done.  If I'm paying for an hour I'll get them to have a quick look and give me a quote :)
