which one's do i get for the front arb do i replace the bush or bush and bracket and where do i get the set from

Is your standard at the moment?

yup its standard, not sure if the arb is 19 mm or not yet but i will check tomoz

contact sarah at awesomegti.com get some power flex ones for about £15. Might aswell do both sides

Powerflex don't do 19mm for the octavia only 21mm and 23mm.

But they list a 19mm one for the TT so that may fit,but i would check first.

What was the part no. they gave you?

It's a 19mm bar as said and as said powerflex don't do them, the superpro ones are better then the standard jobbies and use the original mounts. They will last much longer than the standard items............I hope :rofl:

sorry to hijack , but my octy vrs has a wobbly steering wheel when driving seems worse around 60 , wheen i hold the wheel tight i can feel it vibrating through me , could this be a bush somewhere that has play in it , its a 2001 with 80000 on the clock . thanks mark

Hi

No I doubt it

I would say get the wheel balancing checked over first

You may have lost a weight on there

It would be my first job done to get it sorted

Good luck and let us know how you got on

Mmmm

Right , well that makes things different....

Check and make sure all wheels are tight , they can come loose after they have been on for a while

Try also swapping wheels about , checking visually as your going

When car is jacked up , make sure there is no movement in the wheel bearings too
