Rear lower shock absorber bushes

[Hayden1470]

I've got aftermarket suspension on my polo gti and the lower rear bush on one of coilovers has started to really wear and needs replacing (pic of an expample attached) anyone know where i can get just the bush for this? thanks.

That bush isnt listed as a replaceable part

I would suggest speaking to the manufacturer of your coilovers

Coilovers came with my car when i bought it, no idea of the make unfortunatly!

Probably two new rear shocks then im afraid

If i was to contact a company that does coilovers for my car, surely the bush size would have to be the same as any other company as it is specific to my car?

Not necessarily. Each manufacturer can make a bush thats unique to that part. It only has to bolt onto the 6N2 chassis. Its outer diameter could differ between manufacturers

Hmm i suppose that makes sense, why is it the little bits are always the bloody hardest to fix haha il get under my car today and see if i can find any codes or markings on my coilovers and see what they are

ok ive just gone and has a good look with my torch, im 99.9% sure they will be the same rubber mount as the cheapy fks and joms you can buy, the coilovers i have on though are either raceland or v-maxx, whats the best way to go you reckon?

I would probably look to try and buy a pair of replacements for the rear and just swap them out

I have but they are 250 quid for the pair as theu are either raceland or v-maxx and i dont want to drop that kind of money just because of a s**t little rubber bush

I would take the dimensions from the existing bush, ID, OD, thickness etc and then start searching by dimedion or speaking to people like Powerflex
