Front Suspension bushes - recommendations
« on: June 12, 2016, 02:57:12 pm »
hey all,

My front lower (rearmost) bushes are up for replacing. I've read that S3 bushes are the way to go, but is there anything else i can do whilst i am there? Or would just the S3 bushes be a good call? any part numbers for the S3 bushes?

cheers
D

Febi 33973 are solid OEM S3 bushes. I found them just right.

Depends on the budget. I'd get a SuperPro anti-lift kit, which I fitted to both my Golfs. The ALK does make a worth while difference. You can consider the ALK from Powerflex, since it's cheaper.

Not what I wrote before. Personally I prefer the SuperPro ALK but Powerflex sells one cheaper. An ALK is what you need. Whiteline doesn't have the quality or price advantage.
