Hello

As the title suggests, I am struggling to identify the correct parts for the car. Last year when I was having an oil service, my local dealer flagged up that the rear bushes on the front wishbones were starting to crack and split. I'm taking the car to an independent who does all my big services and repairs on my out-of-warranty cars, and I take all the parts up that are needed. Was going to take a new set of front wishbones so that, if needed, they could be changed out, but both GSF and Euros are pitching several different varieties of wishbones, and it's not remotely clear to me which pair would be the correct ones.

It's a 2012 (62-platte) 1.2 HTP Combi.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

If you share the VIN or reg with me, I can look up the genuine part number(s).

Alternatively, ringing either of those suppliers with VIN or reg to hand will probably yield the same or better results (because genuine part number doesn't necessarily lead you to the correct ECP/GSF part number). Their screens have a better look-up than the public websites, I understand.

This model i think uses the older type bush thats on the end in an alloy bracket unless the bottom ball joint is the riveted type you need not buy the whole arm as the bushes are notin the arm anyway and don't come with the bushes and bracket , if doing the job yourself you will need a puller to replace this bushI, I replaced mine on my old mk2 with SEAT Cupra bushes which are a solid type compared to the slotted type as standard found it a firmer ride and lasted many years longer compared to the slotted type bush, the only slight draw back is if you drive slow in high gears like a snail you will get a shudder type vibration but normal driving is fine no issues and in fairness as the bush ages a bit this goes away ,Quinten Hasszel make good quality arms with bottom ball joints BUT no bushes you need to buy thhese ,there's a few vid's on you tube showing this work take a look first to see if you can do this as taking the brackets off the car to fit the bushes is a trying job most if not all garages remove and re fit them while still on the car

Image of genuine item here, not like what @Murdockman is describing. They were only used in very early mk2s up to some time in 2008 I seem to remember.

My mk2 estate was a 2010 reg 1.9 tdi and this model had the big rear alloy bracket bush type so thought it might still be used they did change on the mk3 and now there's a modified bush thats more solid instead of being open on each side
