[gmaster]

wishbone bushes?

Superflex bushes with camber.

 

[gmaster]

i have a 04 reg seat leon cupra R standard suspension and have 4mm of tread on my front tyres apart from the inside edge both side is down to the cords. this is very excessive as if its been rubbing against somethin and the tyres are only 4 months old. falkens 452's.

could this be down to worn bushes on my front wishbones the rear bushes or front or both? as the car doesnt pull left or right and drives in straight line without hands on steering wheel and brakes straight with no hands on wheel.

is a 4 wheel alignment with 2 new front tyres the only way forward or bushes change first????

any help please as its gonna need to get done within a week or so or im gettin 6 points next time i get pulled by the #*~'s (police)

that could just be your toe angle, but definately new tyres if your down too the wire and 4 wheel check

changing yur bushes with a 2004 car is a good idea its also one of the keys to better handling.
The TT roadster bushes fit the wishbone rear position, this coupled with new tyres and a 4 wheels alignment check is a good starting place and see how it goes from there

How are they stopped from rotating round?

I asked the supplier that and he said they didn't move, really???
I would have thought they would have been splined or slotted

 

[m0rk]

Yeah, I don't think that the friction between a smooth steel insert & a poly bush would be enough to stop a 1.3tonne car from moving it...

nice slot, or splines as you say would be better

 

[Willie]

I also asked how you get these to be the same at either side and stay at the preset adjustment, again no bullet proof answers. Also surely this would put stress on the top mounts as these don't allow for varible camber

 

[ibizacupra]

setting them would look to be a complete pain in the arse to me... how do you get in there to rotate the bush?

dont like em myself.

Surely if you could rotate the bush, it would rotate on it's own

Exactly, so without splines etc you have no way of stopping it going where it wants to go
Maybe coupled with adjustable top mounts it might be good
