New Front Bushes for my Gti - who to install them in Sydney

[Guitar Watto]

I recently bought a nice 07 GTi , my mechanic went through it and said the front bushes were all worn,

Through my research here I have now got a set of Whitelines to install , but the car is now in Sydney for 6 months. I'm working near Moore Park,

Can anyone here recommend a good reliable person to change the bushes

Much appreciated

VW Village at Kensington or Wolfsburg Motors at St.Peters

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

Thanks guys, I ended up going to VW Village, great service, and the Whitelines are great . next suspension mod ???? sway bars front and rear ???

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.

And front and rear sway bars FTW!

Coilovers with a rear sway IMO.

Weitec for and whiteline for a good cheap solution.

I have the stiffer front bar, does help, but comfort suffers.

More poke, better tyres for the front end and you're on the right path.

Got the Superpro lower control arm bushes, massive improvement in handling however higher cabin noise and vibration.. Still worth it!

Rear sway bar will probably give you the best bang for buck improvement after the control arms
