Cupra wishbone bushes

[Veyron]

Hi just been to tps for cupra wishbone bushes and was charged £40 which seems a lot? Part number is 8N0407181B, they also look smaller than last time but I can't remember. I queried this and he assured me they were right and the ibiza and tt use the same?

Just want to make sure before my cars in pieces!

Thanks

I'd cross check prices with the SEAT dealers or are TPS becoming to much of a good thing????

bought mine from tps a few months back..just over £20

are you sure you got the right ones as that part number looks wrong

seres sell them on ebay too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-SEAT-IBIZA-MK4-CUPRA-LOWER-WISHBONE-ARM-BUSHES-PAIR-POLO-FABIA-/171002112893?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27d0852b7d

They're for a different kind of wishbone than the usual type that has a 'console bush'

All depends what your car is fitted with, but I would expect the ones you've got to be wrong To be honest.

Hi thanks for the replies he sold me leon cupra ones so took them back, the actual ones cost 22.09

Thanks again

Are you having to change them on a vehicle that was already fitted with them?

 

[Veyron]

Hi no it's a different ibiza mate!

 

[Chino_UK]

Ah ok...I've already decided mine will be getting pollybushed at some point.

 

[Veyron]

I've been quoted £50 to fit both sides which seems good?

 

[Chris_a_73]

That's a very good quote! I was quoted around £200 for the job, however managed to get a friend who works at Skoda to do it for £50 cash in hand

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the symptoms to look for as I think mine are on the way out ?

Apply the handbrake, grip a front tyre at the quarter to three position and try to rotate the wheel backwards and forwards. If there is excessive movement, they're worn.

Thanks.

Do you need to jack the car ?

I ve just passed an Mot and been in for a service and nothing mentioned. However iam badly wearing the inside edge of both front tyres and i swear i am hearing knocks when the car is rolling along side streets and not under power.

no.dont jack car up,,thats why you put handbrake on..to hold car still..if you jack it up the front wheel will spin.

Got it.

And out of gear, what you are checking for is, if it is possible to move the front wheel forward and back from its initial position, if possible, then that would indicate that the console bush is torn.

 

[krussel]

Did it today and could find no movement.

Then jacked it up and with wifey on the brakes pulled the wheel around but could feel no play. Gave the droplink some as well but seems tight.

Maybe its my tracking thats out which is ragging the front tyres. I ve been driving really steady as well but the inside edge is going fast

Get your geometry sorted and you should be fine
