Hi there, my lower arm bushes have given up on me and flex really bad under heavy braking, i have AP Coilovers fitted so decided not to go to VW about it and get it done under warrenty as they would blame it on the coilovers and i also dont want the original ones on there as ill get the same problem a month or 2 down the line. Instead i wanted to uprate them to Powerflex or something but i can't seem to find any companys that make them can anyone help me with this please? I think i read somewhere that the mk4 golf ones are the same but i dont want to buy them and they're not, if anyone could shed some light onto this it would be muchly appreciated, thanks.

I ordered some when I posted the linky for you Sam. Should help keep things safe. My bushes are still holding up, but as I'm almost fully lowered I guess they would go eventually, so I'd rather do preventative maintenance than repair.

Well yeah I'm on AP Coilovers so that probably didn't help them haha! But was suprised they went to be honest, appearently they're s**t in general on the 9n3 polo's Fabias etc..
