    Replacement front lower control arm front bush

    OK, I'm confused here.

    Powerflex make the PFF85-201 kit for the 9N(3) Polo which also fits the 2WD MkIV Golf (and everything else that is based on this car). This kit has a split bush and no dimensions are available from their website.

    On the other hand, SuperPro make the SPF3311K kit for the 9N(3) Polo which has a solid bush but for the 2WD MkIV Golf, they make the SPF1915K kit which has a split bush with slightly different dimensions for everything aside from the outer diameter (30mm).

    Meanwhile, Nolathane make the 45599 kit for the 2WD MkIV Golf which has slightly different dimensions again from the outer diameter and nothing for the 9N(3) Polo.

    So are the other dimensions (overall/inner length, flange diameter, inner diameter) unimportant?

    I'm guessing that the inner tubes will all have the same inner diameter so that the overall inner and outer diameters are identical which would mean that stiffest bushes are probably going to be the ones with the largest bush inner diameter (this assumes that the polyureathane used is of similar stiffness).

    What to buy?

    Why dont you get them off the Whiteline site

    Or walk onto Pedders. I have the Pedders ones, which i have been told are the same as Whiteline, but rebranded

      They only list the rear ones (and their bushes are the Nolathane ones)

              I doubt the SEAT front bushes are any different since the rear ones are just solid rubber versions of the stock ones and the front bushes don't have voids.

                Good to know probably would be the same shore yeh? why not get custom made up at a suspension shop, could be cheaper possibly?
