Powerflex Bushes Question

[Mike FR+]

Hi all

I'm looking for some bushes (ha ha).

I want to replace the top mounts after fitting my new Eibach coilovers, has anyone replaced the top mounts?

Also, I'm trying to get a rear Eibach 25mm ARB that needs new 25mm bushes. Will any 25mm ARB (front or rear) bush fit?

Cheers in advance.

Mike

recently did the top mounts on my FR tdi. Imagine it would be the same or at least very similar. I''l try and find my thread about it as that was linked to a very good write up on changing front suspension to coilovers which was all relevant to what i did. Only thing i would say to beware of is corroded nuts and bolts, you may find it handy to have a heat source to help undo some of them.

Also you may need an impact gun to get the nuts off that hold the old top mounts on. I managed to round off the 11mm bolt on the top of one of my coilovers whilst trying to undo the top nut. Luckily the impact gun just blasted them off.

you'll also prob need a wheel alignment afterwards as well as once i'd finished mine the tracking, alignment etc was way out!!

good luck

Yeah mine is the TDi FR150 too. If you can find the link I would appreciate it.

I have had the front suspension off already and changed the coilies. Eibach had to replace some under warranty so I did them the other day - no seized bolts etc.

Where did you get your mounts from?

Have you got any idea if the bushes on the front ARB are the same as the rear?

Or does anyone know where I can get the bushes for the rear 25mm ARB?

Think I need the bolts too

Not too sure about the Eibach rear ARB but the Neuspeed ones have to be bought through Neuspeed.
The front ARB bush can be replaced with powerflex ones of the same size
