Uprated Wishbone Bushes

[BenG]

I've been using Superpro front wishbone bushes over the last 10k or so and all good so far. No noticeable change in noise or ride quality but the steering feels more precise (vs original bushes, which admittedly were on their way out).

Floflex ones are 35% off if you look about a bit

Didnt realise they were still on offer

I got mine via ebay for roughly £27!

And for that price i wouldnt look any further

 

[Bickerton]

Yeah I thought the offer had stopped but searched for golf too just in case, voila. Just need to find a local diy'er as I don't touch suspension since a spring compressor failed on me...

Yes, the rear ones fit, I'll go and check the link to the polys.

Yes they're right enough, you'll notice it says not cupra r which is fine as they're the cast arms.

Thanks mate

If you did wanna go LCR setup I have a complete subframe

I would but moneys proper tight at the moment. Cars took £300 odd quid off me this month in just parts alone

Let me know if you change your mind

I've fitted some of the floflex bushes to a rear beam, wasn't overly impressed with the feel and quality of them

granted they don't look as good as powerflex or superpro

but im sure you'll agree they do the job thats for sure, and how often do you gaze under your car lovingly at the bushes on it? for me the answer is never

 

[ongoing]

I've gone power flex and the ride is harder but I'd still recommend them

 

[M20FES]

will do

 

[M20FES]

I guess the quality is comparable to there cost and how much driving you do and your driving style.

I do lots of motorway driving so guessing that should be better on bushes then urban driving ?

Its just the finish theres nothing wrong with the integrity of them

tbh the flowflex ones are best value for money. If i wasnt doing the stupid mileage iam currently doing I would of gone for these, but reliability and longevity are key for me, so went with the genuine Audi TT ones.

My front lower arm rear bushes have split so looking to re bush my arms. Just been flicking through here and I'm confused on which bushes are best. I'm doing about 200 miles a week. Was looking at flo-flex bushes but heard mixed reviews

 

[Seatmann]

The cupra/R32/Audi TT ones, they're the same size but lasr way longer, my preference is lemforder brand.

 

[M20FES]

i went with the audi TT ones

Are they a lot better than the standard ones? Where did you get yours from and how much if you don't mind me asking. Did you replace the front bushes or leave them?

 

[Seatmann]

Definitely, I used standard ones and they lasted about 6 months tops, fitted the TT ones and I've since taken them from one set of wishbones and fitted them in another and they're still going strong. That's been about 4 years now. I fitted stock ones for the fronts.

yes cause there solid and not voided which is where they tend to crack from. went with superpro fronts

TT and superpro bushes work out about £60 all together

 

[nathan_20vt]

Ok thanks. Think I'm going to get the TT rear bushes and leave the front bushes as they are good. Does it matter what year TT you get the bushes for?
