bushes

While attempting (i couldn't get the dam strut top mount off, plus GSF gave me the wrong shocks [:@] ) to replace the front shocks on 1.8 20v i noticed that the wishbone bushes on the drivers side wishbone appear to be torn or separating. Would you say that i have anything to worry about...

Had my rear wishbone bushes replaced a couple of months ago during my suspension change. During my MOT yesterday, the tester was going to give me an advisory on the bushes, saying there was play in them when turning from lock to lock. However, I told him they had just been replaced, so he...

Hi everyone, well today i had my cars 20k service done, all was ok but, a few things are now needed it seems. First off i need new rear brake pads, and secondly both front rear lower control arm bushes aree shagged :(. So the question is, do i replace them with some upgraded bushes, or, just...

Hi, I had my front ARB bushes and rear shock absorber mounts changed under warranty about 20,000 miles ago because they were split. I was wondering how easy it is to check if the new ones have split. I've looked under the car and you can only see the bottom of the rear shock absorber...

Hi I have bought some cupra wishbone bushes to replace the ones on my PD130. As they are solid, compared to the PD130, they should be better, and also get rid of the clonking suspension i have :cry: However i have a technical question, once the bush is in the mount, how do you get the...

Put my car on the ramp at work and found the front wishbone rear bush collapsed on the o/s and split on the n/s. Now if my car was 10 years old and had 80k on the clock fair enough but its only 4 years old and 36k on the clock! I gather that seat have modded the bushes to solid ones from...

I have a search but i just want to be 100% sure, I need to replace the rear front wishbone bushes on my Ibiza, so i thought i may aswell have all 4 changed. I was originally going to buy the 4 wishbone buishes that powerflex offer but i've read that the standard PD160 rear wishbone bushes...

Seeing as though I'm doing the wishbone bushes I thought I might as well order a full set. Anyone fitted the Powerflex anti-roll-bar bushes to an Ibiza mkiV?

Guys this mod will not work with our cars[:@] Although I did purchase some having done some x referencing with my local parts man, it seems that they dont fit our cars. The chassis arm that the bush fits into is different to the 130/160PDs. Moreover, the 160Pd has a different subframe, so...

i'm wanting to replace all my suspension bushes for powerflex ones. All the sites i've looked on say that the mk3 golf are the ones i want. 2 of the bushes list 2 part numbers so i need confimation. Front Wishbone Inner Bush (front) x 2 PFF85-201 Front Wishbone Inner Bush (rear) x 2...

Hi guys. Do you need access to a press to remove the old or fit new bushes? Thanks in advance, Mark

can someone tell me how to remove these to get it powdercoated? theres one above and one below with a steel insert through.and a washer top and bottom. tried tapping the washer off without any success. has anyone done this?

WOOOooooo HOOooooo Following reading an article in VW Driver where powerflex bushes were put on a Golf IV project car, and after the advisories i got on my service last week, the devil on my shoulder TOLD me to buy the kit!!!!! My other half just called AwesomeGTI for me and they have a good...

Seeking your collective wisdom on this one.;) Dealers have said that I need to have the front wishbone rear bushes (think that's right?) replaced as they are cracked. The car is 6 years old with 80,000 miles on it. Are there any other bushes I should get replaced at the same time (front...

An interesting nugget of information for you... The rear bushes of the front lower suspension arm are known to have large voids in, and give a little too much play - especially after a good mileage. I'd been toying with the idea of getting some Powerflex inserts (aka udders), but when...

looking at getting some neuspeed arb's, it was also mentioned about getting the bushes replaced at the same time. Are powerflex the way to go? anything else worth looking at? Do they actually make much difference?

OK done 1k or more now and i feel that the increased vibration is not dying away after the fitment of the 1 uprated poly dogbone mount bush. God knows what the 2 fitted would feel like. However the power delivery is smoother and less wheel hop for sure ! Why is there no in between uprated...

When I change my shocks I'm toying with the idea of fitting some Powerflex bushes to the lower front suspension arms. I suspect the originals are knackered after 70k miles, and with the extra braking power from the 312mm conversion I reckon the Powerflex bushes will help keep things aligned...

I've been in touch with Powerflex again and been told that they are still 'looking into' manufacturing the rear beam and rear top mount bushes for a complete Ibzia kit. Bill have you had any luck with them? Was it you they supplied the kit that didn't fit to?
