Title: Front wishbone rear bushes - MK5 GTI
Post by: H4MXU on May 24, 2019, 11:47:19 am

Hi all,

So my Front Wishbone Rear Bushes are split and in dire need of replacing. I've decided to go for uprated Powerflex ones: https://powerflexstore.co.uk/volkswagen/golf-mk5-gti-r32/powerflex-front-wishbone-rear-bush-golf-mk5-gti-r32-pff85-502/

My question is, would it be worth getting the Powerflex Front Wishbone Rear Bushes Anti-Lift & Caster Offset Kit rather than just the rear bushes? https://powerflexstore.co.uk/volkswagen/golf-mk5-gti-r32/powerflex-front-wishbone-rear-bush-anti-lift-caster-offset-golf-mk5-gti-r32-pff85-502g/

Also would someone be able to tell me the correct part number for Powerflex Lower Engine Mount Insert for the MK5 GTI? There's so many different ones.

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

Get the anti lift
As for the lower inserts, they imo didn’t do much to eliminate the “jerk” from the gearbox. In my DSG anyway.

Whatever you decide with, don’t forget to replace the bolts with new
