Hiya,

Does anyone know the part number for the Ibiza bushes that fit the Fabia vRS, mine are on their way out again and I wanna get some Ibiza ones as I've heard they last longer.

Thanks

Thanks for that, are they much better than the standard ones?

Yes, recommended upgrade. Why Skoda don't use them as standard is beyond me.

It's a no brainer if your existing ones have failed. They perform better, and will last as well.

thanks for that, i'll get some ordered, how do they perform better? is it just that they last longer?

Soild rubber instead of having voids in the casting.

I believe they make the steering tighter, due to them flexing less. I need to fit mine, had them in the shed for 8 months now

Lol! My standard ones are starting to go now, only been in the car a year but there is roadworks outside work for about 8 months now, and I dont think crashing over the potholes twice a day has helped them!

The standard units go with a few miles out of the factory! I believe since me changing them on my PD130 Ibiza, there are even some uprated bushes now from one of the supplies of bshes, superpro or something :/

OE ones have now been superseeded by the Octavia II bushes which are a half way between being partly voided. You cant get the original bushes anymore.
