Changing VRS Front ARB bushes

[Ian_D]

I've got some replacement genuine Skoda front ARB bushes for my Octy Mk1 VRS estate and intend to replace them myself.

But I'm confused as a search reveals some some threads here talking about grinding off bolts (when fitting Powerflex) and one saying it's a piece of plss. My Haynes says it might be necessary to lower the front sub-frame.

I've got the time and most tools to do things myself but grinding is a bit beyond my tools.

Can anyone help with advice?

Cheers,

Ian

Doing the ARB bushes is straightforward.

Rob,

Many thanks, that's just the job.

Change the droplinks while you're at it. Changing the bushes is a very quick and simple job.

May aswell get new bush clamps and bolts while you're there too.
