Front end traction

[jesum]

Yes! The rear bushes have the same problem as the control arm bushes. They change the geometry of the rear suspension.
Solid bushes, like the control arm bushes, will help the car to be more precise… and it is a big difference.
Do you have the WL rear toe kit? This is other big upgrade for the car’s handling.

do you have the part number for the rear bushes?

where is the bush located?

Hello.

I don't know the Powerflex's bushes quality, but they have it for the Polo.
It is the number 4 in the diagram.

Plautos, the rear toe kit is an alignment product, as there is a lot of difference in rear alignment in some cars ex factory, mine included. I have this installed, I did not find it made a great difference compared to springs shocks or swaybars.

I installed the toe kit after the springs and before the sway bars.

The handling changed a lot... much less understeer.. The rear end finally starts to get out of the track and help cornering.

Rear bushes sound interesting. Has anyone else installed these?

FYI, checked my tyre pressure, fronts are 33.5 (1/2 PSI accuracy), rears were 33. I don't like my pressure too hard with with Kumho's, but will raise it to 36.

Check out Rhys (VWindahouse) red devil thread. he's running the toe kit, if that's what you're referring too. I haven't come across changing the actual bushes as has also been discussed in this thread.

On my previous car I installed a castor kit after having done other suspension mods, it made a very nice improvement to front end feel/confidence. I reckon the polo would benefit from such a kit.

New suspension set up today. I tune the camber to -2 degrees and the swaybar to the soft.
I felt the car more willing to do hard corners with the foot on the gas.
Before that, I had -1,5 degrees and swaybar on hard, the car had tendency to understeer in this situation… but, if I removed to foot from the gas, I had a massive grip. I had though the LSD was junk, but in the end my problem was just alignment.
