HAMMER_VR6 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Also buy new genuine bolts from VW. no point fitting tight new bushes if your bolts are worn.VW recomend they are replaced also. and if they are 13+ year old bolts may take a bit to get them out..Make sure you get the genuine bolts as they are high tensile Link to post Share on other sites
