Front ARB bushes

Post by the edmundator »

Are these 16mm or 22mm on a mk2 Scirocco... or is it variable (and if it is, is it clearly age-related)?

Looking at Powerflex bushes, but they all say to make sure you ask for the right ones.

If I need to go and measure up, what am I measuring? The diameter of the ARB, or the bush?

I think that's probably 16mm for standard ARBs and 22mm for the uprated Eibach types. But I'd measure just in case :)

it's the internal diameter of the bush and the external diameter of the arb (which should be the same). I think mine were 22mm, but i have no idea what scirocco they were from as they were added by me.
