Post by: Washout on May 26, 2015, 10:50:45 pm
I have purchased this walk kit;

Which I hope is correct for the mk 5 gti. I'm after some front bushes to compliment it so would a standard power flex bush such as;

Be best or;

Do you think the front bushes needed to be adjustable. What has everyone else put in. Lol

Ive got the powerflex bush with the superpro ball joint joint which gives me the camber adjustment.

I left the front bushes stock.

I went for the WALK when the stealers mentioned that the console bushes were perishing (looked fine to me). Front wishbone bushes were fine.
Done probabily 40-50k miles+ like that with no issues.

Plus, I won't fit the normal 3346 bushes as I managed to get Superpro to make me an uprated version of that bush in 90k compound with a larger metal insert as I was getting issues with the normal version.

Check what turns up with you as I have loads on the shelf.

I'm always willing to help forum members with cracking discounts.
