so the new powerflex ones litterally fill up the gaps where the standard voided ones are? no need to mechanically take out the voided bush? wow i may have to do that instad of get the cupra bushes :D

So does what mixup said not apply to me with the bushes i have bought? do people reccommend I fit the powerflex ones ibn my pic then get rear of the front wisbone cupra bushes as well?

It's very easy to explain and often done...

You buy Powerflex front wishbone front bush, PFF85-601.

If you have OEM front wishbone rear bush trashed, there is no point in buying Powerflex PFF85-602 because as it is an insert for the OEM it only makes sense working in a new and untrashed bush.
The solution here, is to buy the Cupra one.

If you bought a new ibiza, and want to prevent the front whishbone rear bush from become trashed, install the Powerflex PFF85-602 with them still new.

That is what I thought i read so many old posts on this and bought 601 bushes as in my pic and will get the cupra ones. I was getting confused by what mixup said and thought id done the wrong thing! Thanks for confirming what I thought!
Will find out what condition mine are in on Saturday on its second MOT.

Thanks for that - I was confused too, although the Powerflex page would seem to be mis-leading, to say the least.

Am I missing something? It doesn't indicate on the Powerflex page that PFF85-602 is anything other than the complete bush. Why doesn't it call it an insert (they do mention insert on one or two other cars).

It's described as PFF85-602 Front Wishbone Rear Bush - not insert. If I ordered that, I'd expect to get a whole bush.
