bush

Hi guys and gals, Just another quick guide for anyone who's been thinking of fitting a polyurethane bush insert to the lower engine mount, also known as the dogbone mount. This mod is quick and easy to do, with minimal tools and skill needed. In total it took me around 15 minutes. What you will...

Does anyone know which way the webbing goes on the wishbone bush? Had a word today with the garage next door about pressing them in and they said they go a certain way (the cut outs in the rubber). Or if anyone has a picture of a wishbone off the subframe I should be able to tell from...

Just got another Ibiza :) had it 2 weeks now. It's a 57 plate Ibiza Formula Sport 1.4. It has 15k on the clock. When I go over bumps, brake, take my foot off the power etc, I get this knocking/short squeak noise from the front-right suspension. It's not very loud but annoying if you don't...

Was checking my front suspension today and my rear bushes are split and there is sooooo much movement in the front wheels. Is the part number I need to upgrade to the Cupra bushes 6LL 407 183 ?? I couldnt find any play in the front part of the tca but can anyone advise of the part number...

I put the bush in with the tool and it went in perfectly but the wishbone was hassle so I removed the console, put the wishbone in and put in back in situ. Now for some reason two of the hole in the console don't match up, the arb bracket is out and the wishbone bolt won't go in! Have I...

I posted on the end of last thread:) I went to order the bushes and was asked if i wanted 21mm or 23mm, i had no answer. I have ploughed through the threads and it appears LCR has 19mm arb and the LC has a 21mm arb. so what do u i order and where does the 23mm come into it:confused:

I replaced mine with another motor factor version (voided) and the nylon casing seemed too big to fit into the console so I got the file out and took some plastic off until it would sit flush so I could hammer it in. Does anyone know if the plastic ones should fit into the console without...

:cry: Worst job I have ever done on a car lol Only changed it for a replacement voided bush for comfort but decided to take the console off to do the job. Then the bush wouldn't fit in but eventually after some work with a heat gun I got it to go in and managed to hammer it home but god...

hey all, just looking for some advice for Wishbones on my COrdoba 2.0 16v, im looking to change both of mine - i cant recall where i read this but is it true that mk2 Golf has the same wishbones? and will fit on Ibiza/Cordoba without any issues? Are the GOlf mk2 and Ibiza Subframes the same...

I seam to have a bush squeek from the passenger side of our 2004 Ibiza 1.4SX 5door anyone know of common problems that may cause this? It does sound abit like old austin metros use to get with the antiroll bar bushes. Any weak spots and things that maybe the cause i should check first...

I while back i had an issue with a noise after lowering and I was asked by a member a number of questions on parts I replaced etc when the new suspension setup was added. One of the questions was: "were the 2 bolts in the wheel bearing housing replaced for new?" I need to explain to the...

When my car was in the garage today getting the power-steering pump, alternator and brakes fixed they noticed that the front bushes are starting to separate etc just with age etc. I know they arent trying to get more money out of me as Ive been using the place for a few years and havent had...

I have just purchased some new suspension for my FR, not coilovers but it should lower the car by 35mm. The question I have is, what bushes would be wise to replace? Front wishbone and front rear wishbone? front strut top mounting and bearing? Would anyone be able to tell me if there are...

Guys, Can anyone supply a picture and/or part number of the OEM gearbox mount bush that is commonly replaced by a poly bush to reduce wheel hop (such as the powerflex item below. Thanks, Horace

I've heard the part numbers are found here but I can't find them! Can someone please post the part numbers here? I want the front wishbone/bottom arm etc Cupra bush part numbers. Cheers!

Hi all, Wantin to try and upgrade my rear ,front wishbone bush as seen on briskoda. Just got a quote of 55-70 quid to make the four 8mm thick discs;at that rate i could try a local independant garage. has anyone got any cheaper more accessible ideas to make these discs or similar.Im all up...

Hi, After reading the Briskoda article on upgrading your knackered wishbone bushes to Cupra solid type, i was all hyped up to do the job. Unfortunately getting some 8mm thick discs from an engineering firm will cost 70 quid to make or nearer 55quid if i change the diameters of the circles...

I have just fitted a proflex bush to my dog bone mount and knew there would be an increase in vibration into the vehicle but even after 500+ miles it's still horrendous and the better half wants to go back to the original rubber mount bush. Does the vibration ease and if so after around how...
