Hi i have a 1.4 8v mpi mk1 wreg 2000 skoda fabia and i was woundering if it the same as my mums 1.9 sdi 51reg as my mum needs new wishbone bushys etc and i was thinking off takeing mine off as mine not on the road at the mo then i can buy the new bushys etc and fittem to the parts i change over then fit on mine i know the engines are diff

Not worth trying to use used bushes. Fit the uprated parts (details elsewhere on here somewhere).

am fittin uprated ones to my car and was goin to put my one on heres mine are less then 100miles usage and she needs new ones badly

Good luck getting them out without damaging them!

If they're standard bushes they're really cheap anyway so you'd be better off fitting new standard bushes to your mums car and asking her to buy you an uprated set as a reward for you doing the work for her.

Then you can just cut your new/old ones out and replace them, pointless really since you say there's nothing wrong with yours, but, hey it's your own time you're wasting not mine

i get wot u mean but would the parts ie wish bone and the alloy braket that the wish bone gos in the same as mine

it take a couple off days for the parts to come and me mums car need them sorting now and she needs her car as my brother is disable and i thought i could take the wish bone and alloy brakit off mine and but them on hers until her parts come

I believe the wishbones are the same but if your on about the console bushes (rear wishbone bush) then there is no way you will get it out of the console without damaging the bushes better off just replacing them and unless you have a bush fitting kit I would even try to attempt to fit oem ones back in as there a real pain in the a**e, get some powerflex ones and you can have both side replaced in half a morning but make sure you buy new wishbone bolts before you do it because they will thread on the way out

As said, no point trying to remove yours. New uprated "X" bushes are around £20 from a dealer.

Sorry missed the last bit the consoles should also be the same so yeah in theory you should just be able to swap them over, whether you need any new bolts for the consoles I'm unsure as I replaced my console bushes in situ

The aluminium console unit and the wishbones are the same for all Fabias MKI....only difference is the sheet steel subfame (exhaust under or over). So you could swap over the console unit and the wishbone....big job tho!!

where could i get a bush fittin kit for the alli console bush has anyone brought one and if so r they are good

I'm sure the wishbones are the same. I'd unbolt the whole assembly with wish bone inplace and swap them over. Then with th ruined bushes go to your skoda dealer and get them to replace, the reattach the assembly.

Thats wot i was going to do matey then when i have the new bushies i was goin to fit them to the other bits then change them back over but for a garage to fit to push the bushies in they want £50 to do so when i buy a 6 ton press for £71.00 so i was thinkin off buyin the press then i can fit them myself and is anyone is local to me on forum they can use it to plus in the future i mite have to fit new bearing too nahd tool to have i think

If it helps at all guys we have the Ibiza Cupra wishbone bushes listed here:

You could also look at going for the Powerflex bushes, which are a little more expensive but they will last a little longer than the cupra ones as the Polly bushes do not perish like the rubber bushes.
