Are these bushes any good


Recommended Posts

I have a similar question on bushes for my fabia vrs. I purchased the below on ECP, they are for an Ibiza tdi FR however they are in a plastic casing as oppose to metal. I am getting them fitted at the weekend however could do with confirmation if they are correct or not.

I have the oem part references however wanted to buy from ECP.

If they are a poor choice I don't mind returning for oem quality

^ Those are pretty much the same design as the oem ones. Most people upgrade to poly ones or the solid Cupra bushes.

Cut out the middle man head straight to your local SEAT dealer and ask for a couple of TCA rear bushes for a (maybe) 2006 Ibiza Cupra, job done. Part number as above ie 6LL version.

 

Edit:- I'd leave out the "Cuba" reference, that will just cause a laugh!

Sometime they can make sound, because they slip in the metal holder. 

The stiffness is good enough, may be better than ordinary rubber.

Will this be all I need to give to the garage when I take it in tomorrow

 

Yes, the 6LL version is the Ibiza Cupra solid ones.

 

They might need to order them in, so maybe it would have been better if you got them to do that first to speed up that job. (just a thought!)

Skoda say that the front bolts which hold the wishbone to console (and subframe), and the three bolts and nut-plate that hold the wishbone to the balljoint all need replacement when removed.  Many people disregard this advice.

Many consoles end up with knackered threads where the front bolt has 'galled' and torn up the ali thread.  There may be a correlation between non-replacement of these bolts and this problem the next time the bolt is removed.

Not if you copaslip the bolt before putting it back in, helps with getting it FT as well.
