Front end issue, can anyone shed some light ??

Hit up Jmac, who can organize the full solid rubber Cupra R bushes for you for a hell of a lot cheaper than the whiteline items (most of us here use those).

My bushes were just as bad as yours after only 44k on the clock... they really just don't last. Also, you might find your drop links need doing as well to remove all front end knocks (again, Jmac can hook you up there too)

Thanks Guys,

As stated I need the car on the road, as it's my lively hood and I do not have time waiting for bushes.
I have already pulled the C/Arm and cassing off, and taken the old push out.
Just waiting for my neighbour to get home so I can use his press to put the new one in.

As long as I can get another 20-30ks out of it I'll be happy, as I'll be selling the car next year.

Thank again for all your help, I'll let you know how I go.

they are not that bad to replace. i did mine last week. My drivers side bush had torn and would knock like crazy.

if you have the right tools its easy to replace. i fitted the cupra R bushes to mine and so far the car feels great.

Torque setting i used was F/T. ive marked the bolts and i will recheck them in the next few weeks to see if they moved or not. so far there no unusual noise

Hey Boys, all done and test driven.

Was not hard to do at all, just a litlle fiddly and takes time.

I just need to know the toque settings of all the bolts so I can completed it all properly,

Thanks for your help all.

all i can say is whether you install the original ones or uprated ones you must do the torque right, RENEW the bolts and ANGLE torque the NEW TORQUE TO YIELD BOLTS, im sure ive exhausted the point fellas and there is a VERY good reason i have.MOST of the susp shops and dealerships, sorry i worked in many but the guy teaching me was Yoda as far as im concerned amd i feel the force when working n your car. Replace the bolts and make sure when you do torque the torque to yield bolts the supension is PRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant stress enough guys.So it might have seemed easy fitting standard bushes but by the looks you have used the old bolts so you are a mile away from having it right
Sorry trying to help and saving you the same job in 10ks time, and if you use the OEM you will for sure
Cheers
