Powerflex front wishbone Bushes?
« on: May 21, 2011, 02:11:05 pm »
Hey guys i was told by VW that both bushes on front wishbone will need replacing soon, is it worth getting some powerflex ones for about £100 or using OEM of which i have no price
thanks in advance
Oh by the way VW quoted me £186.71 to replace front bushes and £308.40 for rear bushes, both on front wishbones. :laugh:

I would go with SuperPro Anti Lift in the rear console bush, about £80 and PolyBush in the front of the arm £40ish.

Factor an hours labour at an independant circa £55.

Then get your alignment done at a decent place i.e. BDM £95.

All plus VAT.
