seat cupra arb bushes on a 9n polo

Postby blug » Thu Jul 29, 2010 1:11 pm

has anyone tried this? apparentley the seat cupra(leon or ibiza??) anti roll bar bushes are a better bet to fit to 9n polos instead of standard as they are made of aluminium. i havent actually had a look at either bush,but i think it could be feasible.anyone shed any light?

Taking a 2005 Ibiza Cupra R as an example, the front ARB inner bush is described as 6Q0 411 314 N “Rubber bush”, I have never seen solid ones.

The 9N front end is OK, it has problems with the consul bushes and ARB inner bushes but that is not a serious headache, I have just put Mrs Crasher into a 2007 9N2 GTI and it is nice…
