Default Bushes

I want to change all of my Furby bushes what can you suggest?

I know that lots of people are changing for Coupra bushes, and that powerflex also have an offering.

Would like to change all of them if at all pos.

Hey Robin,
Nick sends his apoligies for not getting back to you (i think it is the hair)
Yes that isnt a problem, we can do both the "udder" bush mod or the cupra bush mod so it is completely up to you (personally i would recommend the cupra bushes)
The price for all the bushes (front wishbone and rear wishbone) replaced with Powerflex bushes but using the "udder" bushes on the rear wishbone mount works out to £187.75 (£35 front bushes, £47 "udder" bushes and £105.75 for the 2 hours labour)

For the same but using the cupra bushes in the rear wishbone mont it works out to £156.31 (£35 front bushes, £15.56 rear wishbone bushes and £105.75 for the 2 hours labour)

We are not aware of any after market rear beam bushes for the Fabia as of yet!!!

Hope this helps and look forward to speeking to you soon,
Luke

Luke....

IIRC powerflex do make rear-beam bushes, but i think it would be more a hassel to fit then the benifits it would give.


ItsOnlyMe_vRS - The "best" combination for the front wishbones is powerflex front bushes and the cupra rear bushes... it can make the steering a bit jiggily on broken surfaces, but it pays dividends in the handling department

Are the above prices still the same or has the price increased? As I would like mine doing soon, after I have fitted my FSD's

Just jumping on the thread because I've been asking about this today. Is it still 2 hours labour if I'm getting new suspension fitted anyway, or is it something that can be done easily while the car's up on the ramp and has it's suspension off?? Thanks
