I posted the part numbers on the second page

I would buy genuine audi bushings as I would be weary of the quality of spurious ones.

 

[james walker]

rite, ive also posted genuine parts aswell??

so to answer my question, do all bushes need replacing in the wishbone or only really worth replacing the rears?

I only did the rear wishbone bushings as I was told the fronts were like new.

 

[james walker]

but will tt fronts stiffen the wishbones anymore than the lc ones is what im asking

cheers

I think they are exactly the same bushing on the front, the rears are different.

 

[james walker]

So on the LCR...willie & nautilas have said replacing the rear bush with the Audi TT roadster bush....and if need be or whilst your at it you can replace the front bush (if worn) with original LCR or uprated bushes.

and the LC...Audi TT bushes can be fitted on the front rear

 

[Willie]

While your in there ding the rear bush its not worth refitting with old bush in there.
There only £15 each.
If you don't you'll regret it and wish you had done this

I don't get this....according to vagcat its the front bushes that are different, not the rears.

LCR FRONT LOWER ARM
Rear Bush 8N0407181B (Audi part number 8N)
Front Bush 1ML407182 (Seat part number 1M)

TT FRONT LOWER ARM
Rear Bush 8N0407181B (Audi part number 8N)
Front Bush 8N0407182A (Audi part number 8N)

 

[Willie]

As above, the front on the LCR and TT are as stiff as yu get. The rear wish bone and subframe bushes on the TT roadster are the stiffest in the VAG range

 

[james walker]

what about the front on the lc? they the same as the lcr?

 

[Nautilus]

I don't get this....according to vagcat its the front bushes that are different, not the rears.

This is only because you've searched for Leon Cupra R rear bushing, which is the same as the TT, has the same code and appears in the stealer database in the same place The Leon Cupra/Topsport/FR has a different bushing, which is drilled, soft enough to be twisted by hand, and replaceable by the LCR/TT item... so that once you have a LCR, it's no use to seek a harder bushing at all

~Nautilus

 

[skahigh]

OK, what is the difference in the front bushes then? I've got the TT front bush to put on my LCR, will it fit?

 

[Willie]

Yup, it'll fit
