Rear bushes need to be replaced

[Triple D]

Hi everyone, well today i had my cars 20k service done, all was ok but, a few things are now needed it seems. First off i need new rear brake pads, and secondly both front rear lower control arm bushes aree shagged .
So the question is, do i replace them with some upgraded bushes, or, just takeit into seat and try the old warranty claim again.
As i have replaced the suspension with the sachs race engineering set up (same as the seat sport optional extra) ones, surely there shouldnt be too much hassle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Spanny

just use , SEAT ones dan , the new revised bushings are solid ( no gaps) so should last longer , the existing ones are bonded in so will need cut out and then the new pressed in , if you dont have a bench press i think vw sell a tool for pressing them in

Go for cupra160 rear front bushes and powerflex front bushes if your keeping her.. if not just try a claim under warrenty for standard bushes

i think i got the same problem, im just going to pop in, and try claim through the warranty, as it shouldnt happen to a car less than two years old!

From what I saw, your bushes were knackered a long time ago mate.

 

[spyke85]

What do you need to look out for if bushes are going?

 

[F2 Stu]

the wheel travelling back & forth in the arches under acceleration/braking.

 

[spyke85]

Can that be felt from within the car?

 

[T. Spark]

Or just kick the wheels and see if they move inward/outward!

Ok will try and get it looked at next week at seat and get it done under waranty.
@ Ant, was gonna get the RS but the plaetting a ns have changed so am gonna be getting a 20 vt cupra now, for a very good price, with low mileage and i also know the driver and it hasnt been thrashed at all. So with that then the diff and some other toys will be coming.
