Good Day gents,
I'm struggling to get the correct part for my car.
can someone please point me in the right direction, which hopefully is not the Stealers.
I have been to Goldwagen, and they supplied a Febi bush which fits a golf4/A3 8L/Jetta 4 and they claim fits the S3 as well.
The Rear Larger bush is the same as a golf 4 .
However, when stripping the control arm, the bush is a much larger one, same shape, just bigger.
Anyone know if Goldwagen keeps this bush, or maybe from another model car will have the same type bush ?
The agent price is a about 1K for both.

try here and see if the part numbers agree to what they say.
You did not give a year so guessing. But scratch on that site and see.

Thanks Panic.
This is a good site
Although, I think this part is agents only.
Seems to be 2 types for these cars.

A LOT of the bushes are agents only.

For a nice upgrade look for the TT rear bush. 8N0407181B wasnt too expensive from stealers.
The front bush can be upgraded to a poly one without hurting ride comfort. It is the same as the mk4 bush and is a is a press fit bush for the rubber ones. So it might be larger in diameter than the one you removed.
