jmac gets them in from memory.

I can get them for like $60 from superpro. But jmac's are way cheaper.

The rear bushes were soft, fronts are already fairly solid.

Super pro
Seat (JMac gets these)
or Whiteline.

Not much in it cost wise, have a look for the thread, should still be in the last few pages...

There is a whiteline video on utube linked in there so you can see what its doing wrong.

FYI, to get a mechanic to change them is expensive as it takes a while to get all the bits out around them. $50-$100 part, few hours labour (someone please correct me if i'd be led astray)...

I got the Seat ones which are perfectly good by the looks of them, but went for the Whiteline ones anyway as I got a good price when getting my second swaybar...

Sorry to hijack but does anyone know the part number of the Whiteline bushes?

**noone** · 28-09-2009, 06:40 PM

did you look at the thread?

Did you look at the whiteline video?

And as -Polo GTI- found out, they can get ruined and you can see the difference

PM Jmac mate, he is in brisbane and can supply and install for a great price. The install itself is not easy and even an experienced euro performane shop in Brisbane messed up the install of these exact bushes recently.

Good luck
