| Octy II Wishbone bush upgrade.. Spotted this over on SCN, one would presume it would apply to the Octy too. Feel free to thank me  Its interesting really because on 5th gear Tiffny dell said the octy steering was a tad more "wooly" than the GTI's... maybe this is why. This upgrade is common on the Fabia vRSs and makes a huge difference  Normal Wishbone bushes top, vs LC/S3 bushes below.

| Re: Octy II Wishbone bush upgrade.. It seems to be a common theme Lee, the stiffer they want them the more rubber they put in. The upper one has two holes in and the lower doesn't.

| Re: Octy II Wishbone bush upgrade.. SEAT number will be the same as the Audi one. I'll get the number for the bush lube you will also need to push them on. Also you need the mounting bolts. Change a fair few of these for squeaking noises (hence needing the lube) |
