control arm bush

[glenpring]

hi all i am after front lower arm rear bush. I have found part number 6LL407183 for solid buses but have checked fitments and it says it cant be used in my car, but i would have said they are all the same apart from being solid or with voids.

my car is a 1.9 tdi sport 130 bhp

Cupra solid rubber bushes can be used. It's a common upgrade as the voided versions wear easily and don't give a good enough feedback.

The consoles are the same so no issues with fitment. They do have to be pressed into the console so bare this in mind if you plan on doing it DIY.

There are poly bush alternatives available but tend to be more expensive. Unless you're planning on going hardcore track day then the Cupra brushes will be a great upgrade to your daily driver.

Thanks I brought a bush puller/ pusher just a cheap thing off eBay well £40 and I tried it on an old subframe I have and it works a treat. Thanks for the advice I ordered solid cupra bushes and the person selling them said that my bush was bigger then the cupra one but I went against there advice anyway lol

just make sure the ally housings are clean and lightly lubed soap or similar makes life a lot easier
