Crossmember bushes where to buy??

[Afondo 0]

The car is making some serious squeaking noises and Im sure its the subframe bushes as they are the only part that hasnt been changed!

Does anybody know what the part number is and where I can get some?

Ive seen some on ebay but am not sure if they are the same for all Mk3s..

Any ideas?

Thanks

if its the front ones any of these links although powerflex are a trusted name the others seem cheap but would probably last just as long the choice is yours

Thanks for the links.

So the subframe bushes are the same for all Mk3's then?

front cross member bushes are according to both of these sellers C & R enterprises only sell VW stuff so they should know have you changed your top mounts front crossmember bushes dont normally make noises as they have the engine weight pushing down on them but can obviously age

Yeah Ive changed everything, top mounts & bearings, wishbone bushes, stabilizer bar bushes, engine mounts the lot!!

Pretty sure thats where the noise is coming from but Im not 100%. What else could squeak and groan on the front end?

what about the coilovers or suspention your running they might be sqeeking

Suspension is all new, every last bit of it and it did it before the new setup went on too

Hi I bet you its the stupid to rubber things on the top of the susp at front mine squeeks as well as they don't seat correctly plus VR6s hate road humps ! All Vws Iv'e had do this annoying thing. It must be the way the top rubber mount seat. The ony way I stopped it was to vaseline the the sods or none oil white grease. Hope this helps. I think its where the steering twists very slightly and rubs on the internal cone thingy.

You should coat them in wd40 when installing to help them bed in properly. This is what paul did when he fitted my coilovers and ive never had a problem.

Im gonna get it up on the ramps and have a good look at it to try and find out exactly where its coming from. Once Ive got it identified Ill let you all know.
