Wishbone/Drop link bushes?

[6n2stan]

I've just got hold of a pair of new OEM wishbones with both subframe bushes pre fitted and a pair of ball joints. I'm picking up the ARB to subframe bushes Tuesday as they didn't keep GTI ones in stock.

The only bush I haven't got is the one where the ARB drop link thread fits through the w/bone (I think it's in 2 halves?) VW or TPS haven't got a number or an image of it on their parts catalogue. When I changed the O/S drop link a few weeks back, it didn't come with the bush either. How do I source a pair or 4?

P.s has anyone driven there's for a couple of days with the ARB off? It's all getting replaced in between going to and from work!

I wouldnt drive it without the ARB fitted as youll get excessive movement in the wishbone

Are you talking about the round dougnut rubbers thats the drop link has either side of it

If so, the part number is 6N0411329 and they look like



Its two per side, and I would also get a new washer and nut if you havent got that.

Tell TPS its group 4 image 407-05 on ETKA if they need to check it.

Those are the bad boys, cheers Alex. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

This has become a complete renewal of the front suspension but at least I'll know its all good for another 150k miles

I've started thinking about some coil overs now but that's something I'll find in the archives for sure. I must be the only person running a standard set up lol.

Thanks again for your help.
