RRG

Many thanks for all the information! I'm going to start work once this heatwave has finished... Regarding powder coating wheels, I've had some history: I previously owned a 260z with original maglite wheels: the oxidisation caused air loss around the wheel/tyre interface, and kept on deflating over a couple of weeks. These were skimmed and no problems thereafter. Currently running a TVR S3 on powder coated wheels (same oxidisation problem) and no air leaks.

I've a MK3 Octavia VRS (110K miles) with corroded rear arms, and need to overhaul the rear sub frame. I'm thinking of blasting/powder coating all parts with minor rust marks and replacing rear arms. I'll need to replace the bushes, as the LHS wheel has major rubbing on the inside. A couple of questions: Does anyone know where to find the exploded diagram of the rear sub frame showing all Skoda part numbers ? What are the torque settings for these bolts? Is there any benefit moving from OEM bushes to Supraflex Poly bushes? It's for road use only. Anyone know of a kit of parts, decent manufacturers etc.. Any help much appreciated.
