Octavia wish bone bushing trouble

[octaviatdi02]

Hi all ive seen the audi tt wishbone bushes on here i just wanted to know will they fit my 1.9tdi as ive put countless amount of my local motor factors bushings through it they are rubbish i really liked the look of the tt bushes as there seems to be more rubber around them i no i could buy super pro etc but i dont want the comfort to be compromised i tbought id ask to see if the tt ones will fit have they the same inner bolt hole and outter diameter thanks

you could fit polybushes...

Thanks but would rather not had them in a previous car and didnt like them cheers tho

Yes the TT/S3/R32 bushes will fit straight into your wishbones. It's a mod that I've done on every mk3 and mk4 platform car that I've owned over the past few years (Corrado, Leon, mk4 Golf, A3 and three Octy's) and makes a big difference to the feel of the steering - less vague and a crisper turn-in. Assuming the rest of the suspension is in good shape anyway!

Thanks for that purpletom yea they seem to be a beter looking design of a bush yes the car recently got a new set of shocks,droplink arms and balljoints just wanted to replace the bushes now as they look well run thats great thanks for the info i thought i might have to drill the bolt hole for the cradle incase the bushing had a bigger bolt hole but thats great now i dont have to thanks again

I found the superpro bushes to be just as soft as OEM, but much better turn in on the MKII and that's the same sort of bushing as on the MK I.

 

I will say however that the Rubber OEM tt ones used to be a lot lot cheaper.

Yea i just purchased a set of lemforder tt bushes have to get them fitted soon
