Bushes - Squeeking - advice needed please

[hartge]

Hi guys,

since having my car lowered on coilovers the bushes are starting to make annoying noises, took it to the garage this morning and was told to get the front wishbone rear arm bushes replaced.

Im thinking about getting all the bushes replaced now as Im sure something else will need to be replaced later down the line so better do it now than later.
Done abit of a search and read alot about the Cupra/Powerflex bushes:

The cupra bushes Part No. 6LL 407 183
Powerflex Bushes Part No. PFF85-601

On the Powerflex website it suggests part number PFF85-602, is this any different to the one above?
Should I replace the Rear Beam mounting bush too? also anything else while its up in the air?

Thanks guys

cheers mate, is the cupra part same as the powerflex part?

Powerflex have released a revised Bush hence the different part numbers.

The original one was cheaper but was just an insert for the void bits of the original voided bush.

I've been doing a lot of research on this since I'm trying to decide how easy the Powerflex revised one would be to DIY fit. Sounds OK on their website but not sure if you need to buy or make a special tool as per the original ones. The SuperPro ones are more expensive but look like a different design to Powerflex. Would be great to hear from anybody who has had the revised Powerflex Rear Front Suspension Arm Bush fitted...

Funny that - me too. Only noticed it yesterday for the first time.... only when I go over a speed hump (even at crawling pace, it creaks, and I don't drive over any uneven surfaces regularly and take speedbumsp slowly.... is this most likely the bushes? gonna have it checked out soon. thinking about getting the cupra bushes......and the cars not lowered.....

I ordered the Powerflex front/rear bushes along with the Cupra ones. Once they are fitted will report back with results
