Hi guys, it's not an A2 but I was wondering if u guys can help.
The rear bush's on the lower arms on my missus' polo TDI 9N are past it and squeaking. Are these part of the lower arm and replaced as a whole unit or are they pressed into the subframe of the car? If they are pressed into the subframe are they hard to remove?
Also, I have traced the source of a knocking sound to the ARB bushes. The plastic sleeves have fallen out of them causing excessive movement. Is it possible to buy replacement bushes cheaply, and what size will I need? I have looked on a few websites and there is a choice of 3 sizes of ARB bushes for this model 16mm, 18mm and 19mm I think. How do I know what size to order?
Thanks in advance!
