Uprated suspension bushes - anyone fitted them on a Mk4 ?

[MichalR]

Just got mine changed again today

Once out of warrenty i'll have to get powerflex ones

I know it was done under warrenty...but do you know how much it cost to get the bushes changed at SEAT?

Cheers

I did ask, all in all for the Bushes it would of come to £140 which includes the hour or so of labour they quote.

Thats at Sidcup... which although is a great dealership, is a tad expensive.

Wow thats quite a bit....i take it they replaced all the bushes on the car then?

Sidcup is my local dealer too...might have to change the bushes myself to save a few pennies lol

Cheers

Its the Labour that costs alot. Its a doable job on your own, but can be fiddly.

Bushes themselves cost very little... couple of quid at a guess.

so if im getting serious inner edge wear on mt treads this is due to the rear q
wishbone bushes been fooked?

 

[air121005]

replace the wishbone rear bushes with the cupra TDi ones

they are rock solid and only cost about £7 !

put these in instead of the standard TDi sport FOAM ones and the difference was quite amazing tbh!

top upgrade!

to knock the old ones out take of the sub-frame monting and get it in a vice, so much easier than trying to do it on the car i found!
then use the vice to press the new ones in
just make sure you note the orientation of the hexagonal hole!
