bushes

Had a service yesterday. They flagged that the rocker cover gasket needed replacing, and the front lower arm rear console bushes are beginning to delaminate, so I’m guessing they’d need replacing too. Any idea how much these parts would cost? They also flagged a minor oil leak at the rear of the...

Has anyone else been faced with the same problem? Every year I either need to replace one or both arm rubber bushes for MOT. I was just wondering is there an alternative that would fit and last a bit longer??

Hello, the rear wishbone bushes on my 1.6 cr are shagged after only 6500 miles. Is this a common fault, has anyone else had the same experience? does anyone know if the solid bushes from the mk1 leon cupra fit the mk5 ibiza wishbone.

My 02 1.2 is squeaking horribly and needs new front Bushes (I think the roll bar bushes, but not certain).. I have heard many people replace them with Cupra ones rather than the useless rubber standards, so was wondering A) what the price is for a pair of these? And b) do they affect the...

Hello All, Couldn't find a better website to ask this question but hopefully I'll be able to find the answer :rolleyes: Basically I own a 2004 VW POLO and recently the front lower rear wishbone bushes have gone....again :cry: Anyways I have decided to go with replacing them with cupra R...

Hi, i have decided to uprate the dogbone mount on my lcr. Have been reading about it and some people have just replaced the bushes for polybushes saying that this gives the same gains. Is it necesary to uprate the whole mount, or can i just uprate the bushes for the gains i am after? Also where...

Hi, I've got an 2005 PD130 Fr and passed its MOT today. It's got some advisory things though. Both nearside and offside "front lower suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated". I'm going to replace the standard rubber bushes with uprated ones. If you look at the picture in this link then I...

Would someone be able to tell me the difference between the two sets of bushes, Ive got the wishbone bushes now i just require the ones for the ARB but im not sure what is what. I think number 1 is the two bushes that go on the long straight section of the ARB but i dont know what number 2 is...

Hi all, this sounds like a worn bush to me but i'll pick your brains anyway. When driving over uneven road, I get this knocking sound from the N/S/F suspension as the car rumbles over it. The sound is as rapid as the car goes over the knobbles in the road. I am ruling out the shock absorber...

Hi, I have a 130 sport 53 reg. I've been looking into the bushes issue with the mk4 for some time and have a few specific questions. I am going to get the wishbone bushes replaced with the cupra ones and thought i'd get the others done at the same time. 1. I want to get the ARB bushes...

Hi all, please go easy on me I know nothing about cars. A bit of background, 6 months ago I put 4 new tyres on my Seat 1.9 TDI FR 06 and put it through MOT using seat specialists in Cardiff just before the warranty was due to expire. All was well and good no issues. 5000 miles later Just...

Got the Ibiza TDI FR, 2005 plate, got the bushes changed to the cupra ones on tuesday and they changed the oil and filter for me at the same time. Now, it feels different when driving, not in a good way. Before it went in, i could drive it at 30mph in 5th gear or 40 in 6th with no problems at...

Do the Cupra wishbone bushes wear out? Everyone upgrades to them, but if us Cupra owners have a clunk, is it possible the bush has worn? Its too cold to check :lol:

Hi guys Got my ibiza booked in to get cupra wishbone bushes, At Star Performance dysart got told that 4 wheel alignment needs to be done aswell i assume this needs to be done does anyone notice a difference once cupra wishbone bushes are fitted? Ian

Anyone running the rose-jointed Powerflex wishbone rear bushes. If so, can you comment on them?

Hi all, Well i am about to embark on fitting some cupra front wishbone (rear) bushes to my mk4 ibiza sport. Now i fitted some on a mates ibiza a few weeks ago without the correct tooling and to be honest..... never again Does anyone know the tool code for the insert tool for the...

Just recently after having my track rod replaced the garage mentioned that my bushes were pretty worn & recently i can hear the play in the suspension because of them whilst driving. But my question to you, do i go for powerflex bushed all round (£100, arb, frt/rr bushes on frt wishbones)...

Hi all I fit my Powerflex dog bone bushes a few days ago and just thought I would let you know what I think. Positives: * Exhaust note is much deeper and noticeable * No wheel hop * The front end feels more planted (dog bone bushes combined with my new Eibach ARB's lol). * Seems to...

Just a quick question. Got a quote of £280 today to replace the front rear wishbone bushes and ARB bushes. Price includes parts and labour So can any1 plz tell me if this is a good or bad price? Cheers

I think I'm going to get new front bushes fitted when my car is in getting the uprated springs fitted. I get some 'clunking' when turning at low speed on bumpy ground, the car also likes to 'follow' groves in the road sometimes. I think these symptoms point to worn bushes.. (although there was...
