Replacement bushes for Bora V6 4Motion

[Manaz]

Hi all,

Apparently my strut top bushes are stuffed (which explains the severe camber issue I have on the front which is leading to the wearing out the inside of the front tyres), and the lower control arm bushes as well (which explains the knocking sounds in my front end during cornering).

What options are there to replace these? Am I best sticking with OEM parts, or are there 'upgraded' version I can/should get (harder/tougher bushes, I recognise there may be a ride/harshness compromise if I do this)?

What online sites should I be looking to to investigate stuff like this?

Cheers!

I'd be looking at the rear wishbone bushes from the TT/S3 for starters over poly ones.

New std top mounts are probably the go.

Yeah, I've heard that poly can be a bit harsh and you need to keep them well greased to keep them from getting noisy.

ECS Tuning seem to have some interesting options...

I recently did my lower control arm bushes, putting in the R32/TT rear bush. The Part no is 8N0407181B, just call VW spares and quote this, dont bother trying to get them to find the part using a car model.

Interesting prices though... VW $42, AUDI spares $65, now thats price gouging!

I'm considering this kit:

As it'll do everything I'm likely to need in the front end...
