    Seat Uprated Bushes

    As you may or may not know i import Seat Cupra R bushes, and i have supplied many of the peeps on her with a set and fitted many up here in Brisvegas, as there has always been confusion about the torque to yield bolts i will now be supplying bushes and bolts as a kit now, stand by for thew pricing, but feel it will put an end to the confusion

    No worries Matt, ive also decided to take the guess work out of the torque to yield thing, all good suppying the bolts but many still need to know what bolt gets torqued to what and what the angle torque is. With the new kits ill supply the bushes as before, the correct VW bolt set and have a torque settings, makes life easy for us all.

    or would i be better to look at whiteline / powerflex / superpro instead of going with your SEAT bushes?

    maybe melbourne peeps who are after this mod might like someone to address their inquiries?

    lol... this must be getting out of hand...

    it'd be cute to think that there's only one person on the east coast of our continent who knows this ****, you just need to find another one....

    VW mech in your city, that is... there should be a bunch around.

    hi jimmy,

    i just came back from a workshop, the mechanic advised against replacing the bushes. His logic? The polo's wishbone is made from aluminium, hence pressing in and out of the bushes would expand the hole and make the new bushes fit loosely and would rattle.

    I've asked a fellow owner if he's had any rattling issue after upgrading the bushes, he said no problem.

    What's your opinion on this?

    Logic poor mate im afraid. The original bushes are PLASTIC. You punch them out with absolutely no pressure. Ive done COUNTLESS anounts now with very good results and seen them back for MANY services and are as good as they were when fitted. Top mod.
    If in doubt post me your arms and ill press them in for you
    Cheers
