    vwthunder told me that he just undid the bolt running through the bush, chopped out the old bush and pushed in the Whiteline one (possible with polyureathane bushes but not with rubber). I expect he had the front end up on stands

    thanks guys, normally I'd give it a go myself kaanage up on the Goldy, but I don't have the means, I use to go to Andrew Dodd @ North Rocks in my Aircooled days , I guess I should offer him first go .......

    I know the guys at Wolfsburg, If Andrew doesn't want the job, I'll get them to,

    Thanks guys

    You probably would have been better off to fit the alloy lower control arms with anti-lift kit.

    What tyres are you running? How many km has the vehicle done.

    If it's up above 60,000km then some quality dampers would be the best improvement.

    If the dampers are fresh then some quality tyres.

    Not seen any for the Polo?? There is caster correcting bushes though which make a big difference to the handling.

    Yeah Superpro went cold on my request to make them for the Polo.
