Looking for a guide on replacing Front control arm bushes.

Thanks.

Same way as any other make be it Nissan Toyota Holden Ford etc.

Pretty simple, just remove bolts 1, 17, 19 and 23, (look at image) and with a bit of fiddling it should come out.
Hardest part is pushing out the old bushing and pushing in the new one!



Re torque bolts;
-1 to 35nm
-17 to 50nm
-19 to 70nm
- and 23 to 25nm
and you should be good! hope this helped

If its a VR6 you will need to release the engine mounts and jack the engine up to get the main bolt out on the right hand side. In typical VW fashion, its too long and hits the sump before you can get it out.

Got it thanks mate.

Didnt need to jack up the motor, only the left side needed replacing lol.
