🤔 Anyone here know anything about using the VW Passat B6/B7 Lower Control Arm in Aluminum on Skoda Octavia-2 ( VW Golf-5/6 )  ?  🤔

( Ignore the talk about the bushings, my question only concerns the Lower Control Arm itself in Aluminum )

Quote:

If your Golf-5/6 is experiencing clunking noises, shaking steering wheel, wandering front suspension or just general poor road feel it may be time to replace your front control arm bushings.

A common item to wear out on all VW's, the factory rubber bushings degrade over time, especially when faced with rough road conditions, age or mileage and lowered suspensions,
the front control arm bushings play a critical road in proper road feel and handling of your vehicle. 
 

If it's time for a replacement, don't settle for stock:
Introducing this Upgraded, Lightweight Aluminum Lower Control Arm Kit with pre-installed ECS Polyurethane bushings, for a very simple install!

These control arms upgrade your stock stamped steel or cast steel arms to the lightweight aluminum control arms from the VW Passat's B6/B7 front suspension.  
They are an OE-style plus upgrade but offer the following benefits:

 

• Lightweight Aluminum Control Arms:
  • Corrosion resistant aluminum.
  • 4,1 Kg. combined weight savings over cast steel arms for faster, more responsive suspension operation.
  • Enhanced structural rigidity:   less deflection over stamped steel arms.
• Polyurethane Bushings:
  • Higher load bearing capacity.
  • Less deflection for more stable suspension geometry.
  • Greater tear strength.
  • Greater resistance to environmental wear like water, salt and sand.

 

A comprehensive upgrade kit made for you, tested and proven in real world conditions.
 
This kit includes the following:

• Lightweight Aluminum Control Arms.
• Pre-Installed ECS Polyurethane Control Arm Bushings.
• VW Golf-5/6 Aluminum Control Arm Bushing Housings with Pre-Installed ECS Polyurethane Arm Bushings.

Nice. Shiney bits!  Unless you are racing/rallying then a bit pointless.  After 3 months they'll be covered in road muck and look like steel anyway.

This seems to be quite a common upgrade on the golf 5 GTI (same platform as mk2 octy) whilst fitting the anti-lift bushes, you could also fit the TT front arms for increased negative camber.

In what way are the Audi TT-2 different ?
Front Arms ?
Picture ?

There seem to be 3 different models of bushings for the Lower-Inner Rear Control Arm:
1. Standard Alignment bushing.
2. Steering-Pull Correction bushing.
3. Anti-Lift and Caster Increase bushing.

Can someone explain in detail what the advantages and disadvantages of these 3 different bushings are ?
Because English is not my spoken language, I do not really understand the technical terms and what they mean in practical terms...
Can anyone explain in detail to me ?
