I’m not sure actually?? They were on the car and when I ordered the bushes there was an option for cast arms or pressed steel so I popped my head under car and ordered for cast arms

I'm pretty sure all Leon's were pressed arms and TT was cast. Does your anti roll bar drop link go to arm or strut mount
The Cupra R wishbones are cast and the same as the mk1 Audi TT ones.
With this said there's a couple of slightly different variations on the very early TT wishbones as some had smaller rear bushes (apparently better for handling)
and another version which are rather sought after which had a raised nub on each out side which could allow the attachment of a conventional short type drop link.

The roll bar goes under the drive shaft and then there is a long drop link, where the top connects I can’t remember of the top of my head ha ha

Fantastic info... now I'm wishing I bought some cupra R arms from you when I was there... I bet you've got quite a few. Like the other guy said! Top bananas!

Got some more jobs ticked off the list
Super pro bushes all in. The old ones were proper ruined!!
Custom rear brake pipes 1 piece!
Also found someone had bodjed the front brake flexi into the calliper. Used the wrong type banjo and now cut an imperial thread into the calliper. So having to tap to m12 and get custom front braided hoses made
Also I am horrified to post pics of those lovely bushes in the old rusty arms and rear beam. Will be getting pulled over winter for a proper refurb but only 1 week till donnington and then only 3 1/2 weeks till the ring

Is that an ex team dynamics ep3 in the back ground
Quite possibly, just a customers car at my friends garage. Came from another tuners place as the work was poor so he’s gotta sort it out

Just wondering how comes the rear bush isn't in the middle. I guessing if you put them in at a slightly different orientation it will affect the geometry of the front end.

I can see how they ment to work. But if you adjust them to give more caster it's joint to put more pressure on the front bush as you trying to pull the arm backwards and when it's pulling so much it's also then going to put strain on the rear bush too.
I think you would be better of with adjustable top mounts like the silver project style then you can adjust camber and caster at the same time and it will just be pivoting on the lower ball joint and not pulling on the bushes.
Also just wondering how do you adjust them when the arm is fitted in to the subframe.

It’s a good job my KW Club sport coil overs with adjustable top mounts will be here next week for extra fine tune!
It’s a better way of adjusting caster as the top mount will only allow a certain input where rotating the bush inside the arm gives a rotation about a centre being the front bush. 1/2 diameter of the caster bush gives a fair amount of caster angle.
Usually on fwd cars you look at wheel hub from outside and draw a line top to bottom of centre of coilover then top to bottom of centre of wheel and then you can work out the difference in lines is the castor angle.
So adjusting the whole coilover position rather than wheel position doesn’t necessarily get the output you desire. And you have a clearance fit front bush to subframe plus it’s the centre of rotation so a small change in position from oe to give the caster. Therefore should have minimal strain or stress on front bush.
