rear beam is not Mk3 golf - these wont fit - you need Polo 4 and as far as I know powerflex dont do them

front end is essentially mk3 golf - the rear front wishbone bush needs to be 4 stud Mk3 golf - the 5 stud mk3 golf ones dont fit right (this is because the ibiza has Mk2 golf / 4 stud mk3 golf wishbones with a mk3 golf subframe)

front front wishbone bush is Mk3 golf all

doing the front subframe bushes on my ibiza this weekend, picking em up today - the old ones were not easy to get off

cheers

cheers Rob

Polo mk4 is that 6N or 6N2?

These are fine
Front Wishbone Inner Bush (front) x 2 PFF85-201
Front Anti Roll Bar Mount x 2 PFF85-205
Front Eye Bolt Mount x 2 PFF85-208
Front Anti Roll Bar Eye Bolt Bush x 2 PFF85-209
Front Subframe Mounts x 4 PFF85-250

These aren't, does anyone know which ones are the correct bushes, these are for a mk3 golf but i can't find anything to say wheather or not they are 4 or 5 stud.
Front Wishbone Inner Bush (rear) x 2 PFF85-203 ???
Front Wishbone Inner Bush (rear) x 2 PFF85-204 ???

 

[RobT]

I am 95% sure its the 204's you need

Cheers

thanks Rob, do you know if it's the 6N or the 6N2 polo that i require.

 

[RobT]

there are no polo bits you need - the only bits that are polo-specific are rear beam bushes and powerflex dont do them

 

[cuprabaz]

I know powerflex don't do them, do you know who does do the polo rear beam bushes?

And do you know if it's 6N or 6N2 that would be required.

thanks

cheers, do you know if the mk3 cupra is the same as the 6N or the 6N2 polo?

thanks

 

[RobT]

Don't know - whatever Polo4's are circa 1995.

I've been thinking of doing this to i reackon bill has already done this so i'll ask him for the part numbers ect....

How the car running anyways?

yeh I would, as no-one else knows anything about ibiza's on here and all of the above is just made up....

I think thats a bit over the top! The reason i'll ask bill is because his ibiza is used soley as a track car and road cars wouldn't rarely need to upgrade existing.

thing is Adam..
RobT knows more than me in this respect.

He's a very thorough research god.... and also has a very fast competition ibiza.

Note: having been all over my rear arches these last few days/week I have noticed the bottom OS rear shock bolt (the nut on the inside) has touched and rubbed the inner wing! The static gap is like 10mm or more away...



Now thats some serious deflection!

 

[RobT]

thats weird (interesting though) - most circuit bends are right handers (with a few notable exceptions) - we can assume the wheels/axle stays on the road and when going fast round a bend, the body of the car is going to move out to the left (NS) - that would push the NS bolt onto the chassis not the OS (which should get more clearance if anything)....? any marks on the NS ?

tales like this only further fuel project VR6 rear axle.....the ibiza rear end is very weedy cf. golf 2 and 3.....but with a bit of crossbracing and some lumps of nylon seems good enough for rallycross so maybe it is upto some stick...

 

[ibizacupra]

will check it out..
did'nt see it..

well weedy like you say.

Well i hope we get a bit further re: polypushes as i've never fitted them.
