Yes, it'll work.

The WL bushes are also sold separately and fit the stock consoles.
So all the stock size bushes most likely will also fit the WL ALK console.

Excellent, thanks Bruce. That looks like the way i'll go then - if the Whiteline bushes do fail, in with the standard Superpro bushes in the Whiteline ALK consoles.

Not worth going straight for the SuperPro ALK then?

I had the Whiteline ALK on mine with no issues, however i only had it for 20k before selling the car.

given the amount of cars ive now seen that have eaten through the whiteline bushes I wouldnt go that route again.  Superpro seem the way to go IMO

It would probably make sense but i'm not convinced by offset bushes, though I know Superpro are considered the best in terms of polybush quality!

I was going to change the other two bushes at the same time and think the part number is 1K0 407 182, can anyone confirm this please?

do whiteline not sell apre parts? can the hex spigot bush not just be replaced when it wears out?

i would replace the rubber boot on my bump steer kit but it will no doubt happen again anyway as its not a good design so wont bother.

if the WALK goes tits up i would try and source replacement parts to fix it first

Just incase it helps, these were the right ones if anyone changes them for oem ones when doing walk or superpro. They were £27 for the pair at dealer.

....Why not change the OEM rear wishbone bushes for polyurethane ones instead of just new OEM ones? Polyurethane will be much more durable and elastic memory retentive.

I thought it would be too bumpy/more cabin & dash shake so thought a refresh would be fine.
