i need to change the inner bushings on both sides as one side is cracked :(
tried google but can't really find anything.

ideas and suggestions please

Cut it off.

I did mine a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the bolts tend to seize into the inner collar of the bushes.

- Jack the car up (I put axle stands under both sides of the rear of the sub-frame where it bolts to the body)
- May need to remove the rear of the exhaust for better access
- Jack up the outside edge of the control arm (to take the tension of the spring)
- Remove the bolt attached the bottom of the hub assembly
- Lower the jack and remove the spring

- Remove the inner eccentric bolt (if it comes out, you are extremely lucky)
     - If it doesn't come out, then you have to cut the arm out of the sub-frame
     - I used a 230mm grinder - be extremely careful not to cut the sub-frame!

The bushes are part of the arm assembly as supplied by VW. Approx £75 each (both the same L & R)
Bolts + Nuts + washers were under £20 iirc.

a auto part store here in Finland do sell the bushes for the arms without needing to buy the arm new.
so it's just like when i changed from stock to coilovers at the rear when removed the spring and damper? + i need to un-bolt the inner bolt to get the arm out?

The bush is mounted in the control arm. The bolt goes through the sub-frame, then through the bush.

If you can remove the bolt, then you should be able to get the bush out and replace it.
I saw the bushes on their own, but couldn't remove the bolts so chose to cut through the arm.
I needed my car so couldn't attempt to remove it and assess what I needed afterwards. I just went ahead and bought the new control arms.

You might be able to remove the bolts with heat. I think one of my bolts came out after I'd cut half way through it.
It is right behind the fuel tank though.

just to confirm that it's just like when removing rear damper and spring?
