Hmmm,

i have no imagination of where these would go (think I need to do a mechanical course at tafe).

So probably a few hundred for the bushes and a few hundred for install?

you use seat ones for the rear of the arm 6LL407183 £14 for 2! and powerflex ones for the fornt of the arm PFF85-601 £30 for 2 and a guide

but i would recommend a garage fit these i paid £99 for fitting and £80 for lazer 4 wheel align afterwards but for those up for the challenge its a good guide!

I can get these bushes from blighty for 7.5 pound sterling each which works out about $16 ish and im thinking of getting a few of them . You have postage on top of that of course.They are not on the shelf and need to be ordered, . I have a good contact at Seat UK.

The word EACH being the operative word there my friend and you only have 2 on your car. Fronts are already solid mate, some may choose to go to poly.
Lets not get mixed up here, when i say fronts , thats the front of the front wishbone, and the solids i have mentioned are the rear of the front wishbone.
Hope this makes sense

Thanks

Ok, so goes on the front of the front wishbone.... The rear suspension is a torsion beam (can you hear the cogs of my mind trying to make sense of this?)

Still sounds like a good bit of fun... Take long to fit?

[Jmac]

You still havent got it mate. Ok front wishbones/control arms have 2 bushes PER side. Ok lets look at one wishbone say the left hand side, this will have 2 bushes, one bush is already hard rubber but can be replaced with poly, and the other remaining bush is the large one of the 2. This one has 2 kidneys allowing the wishbone to move around abit, this is where you can experience a bit of tramp. Ok this is the bush that gets replaced with the Solid Seat Cupra bush, thus no or should i say less movement.
Rear is a solid axle beam and stub axles mate.
Hope this helps, i know its easy to answer like you are talking at your toolbox, i apologise if i do that sometimes.
Cheers

Just looking at the poly options for the front wishbone bushes and see Superpro have a few options which I can't quite make sence of, can you shed some light on this please Jimmy?
