Bush advise

Post

Back to the top
Evening all,

im just starting the Reston of my MK1 gti Pirelli edition and it's at the body shop at the moment after being stripped so now I've turned my attention to replacing the suspension, brakes and bushes etc as it's been stood for 8 years and I really need some advice!!!

Does anyone have a list of all the bushes that I need to buy as I'm a total novice at this. I think I'll go for standard ones as oppose to poly.

I will start a thread of the rebuild soon with updates on all my progress!!!

I don't have any part no,s but you,ll need ,   front lower wishbone bushs, 2 per side.  Rear beam mountings, 1 per side.  Rear shock absorber top mountings,  2 per side. Steering rack mountings, 2.

I was going to suggest keeping it neatly trimmed as shaving is so last year!

But I think I may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick, so to speak.

Thanks gents, I'll get onto ordering those.

Hahaha, slightly the wrong end but you've helped me sort my bush out. :)
