Rear Suspension Bush Replacement

[johnnyj]

Hi all,

For some time now I've had some issues with the rear suspension due to worn bushes. After a visit to the garage it seems most of them are worn and could do with replacing, but it appears that you can't buy OEM bushes from VAG, you need to replace the entire arm and doing the whole job would cost ~£800. A pretty big price tag for a set of worn bushes.

So I've done a bit of research and it appears that uprated bushes are an option, but having heard of people have issues with them constantly squeaking and needing lubrication I was hoping there was an OEM alternative. Has anyone heard of an OEM set of rear suspension bushes available separately?

Thanks in advance.

Im sure if you try a local parts specialist (TPS or the like) they can get you replacement bushes, in fact id be very surprised if you couldnt order them from the dealer.

I took my mechanics word for it, but I was surprised too. He's normally pretty good do generally tend to take his word for it, but I'll do some digging. Cheers.
