Steering wheel crooked after front springs replaced
do you know if they did a wheel allignment after the suspe4nsion work as this would lead to your steering wheel being off allignment if they have not done a wheel allignment.

L+R mirror switch
thats how they were meant to be you have to hold it on to achieve the l movement hence why the switches snap like mine has and they are not available to buy also skoda realised what a stupid switch this was and changed the switch the next year.

Rear wheel bearing advice?
no they come straight out no puller required the whole job takes an hour for both sides its very easy mate and personally for the price of the bearings I would suggest while you have the rear arm down you do both just make sure you have 2 jacks makes the whole process a lot easier

Front speakers

Front speakers
Well anyone with any brains would still care because it's a good price does not mean you have to put crap in and if anyone checks they will see that fli speakers have a very good reputation and following.

the psb bush inserts can only go in one way bud 😞

Last job on list.
No mate they are in really good shape tbh the issue seems to be the psb bush is pushing the insert in making it to tight to get the wishbone in and ive had a dremmel wire brush on the console housing they are dead flat and clean.

Last job on list.
tried that as well mate still no go the bushes seem to be to tight tbh if i remove the insert i can knock the bush all the way into the console housing but if i try to with the insert in the bush does not even go flush to the console something is just to tight but they are stating these are the correct bushes.

And were they flush at front but sticking out at back I'm a bit concerned they seem to long but they are the correct ones.

tbh mate they were a pig just to get in the consoles and they are longer than oem ones so you either have some at front or protruding at back past the edge of the console housing and ive tried the ratchet strap twice i gave up and came in lol.
