This was so good to watch and has boosted my confidence in taking on a lot of bushes in my TT Mk2. I have a lot of knocking and clanking front and back and a list of the culprits. These front anti roll bar bushes are two of them and I know I can do them now. I’ll comb through your suspension videos to try and take some of the panic away as it will be quite expensive to get a garage to do the whole lot. Appreciate you taking the time to put this up.
Hi Tom, thanks for the comment and support. Find a good weather day, make a brew and just take your time. Its a great feeling when you have done it yourself and a great way to learn more about your car. I hope it goes smoothly for you. Let me know how you get on 👍
great diy posting! planning on getting mine done over the weekend
Hey Juyopham, thanks for the comment and support, hope the work goes well on the car at the weekend. Let me know how you get on 🤞👍
Thanks for sharing, will do mines soon
Thanks for the comment Maverick. Good luck with the job 👍
Nice informative video. Mine need doing now. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment Al, good luck with the job 👍
Not sure US LHD one is same since we have brake booster on that side
Hi.Mono, thanks for the comment and support. Is the airbox still on that side?
@@Witty924 hi, yes. We have airbox is same side, but behind airbox we have master cylinder and brake reservoir
@@monoton9597 ah OK got it. So with the airbox removed can you see the bolt that holds the bracket for the hose that's connect to the anti roll bar bush? Or is it not access at all?
@@Witty924haha, i wasn’t able to get it by my tools. Thank you for helping. Do u think broken plastic thing with original sized swaybar bushing can cause clunking? My whole front suspension is new including all the bushing. But it still clunks on left side- only when temperature is under 49F. No matter engine is hot or cold
I've installed coilovers on my mk1 quattro, does the front sway bar end link needs to be shorter or the oem length will be ok?
Hi Playrac, thanks for the comment and the support. So with your new coilovers I assume its got the drop link bracket built in. Its should be ok with OEM as the coilover suppliers would have built this into the upgrade in the product so allowing you to plug and play. That said you will get a feel for this once fitted and depending on how low you drop the car. Let me know how you get on 👍
Is it still holding together well?
Hi HSK thanks for the comment. Yes its held together really well, no squeaking or clunking, and still feels tight in the steering and suspension 🤞👍
@@Witty924 sounds good! Thanks for the quick reply
HI guys anybody did this on a 225 TT? I need it done on mine. What size should I buy the poly one? 20mm? and what size is the 2 old bolt if I need to replace them with new ones mine looks very rusty so would prefer to put new bolts too. Thank you
Hi Sandor, so if you plan not to buy a new anti-roll bar and your plastic sleeves where the bushes sit are still intact then stay with the 20mm bushing. If the plastic sleeves are broken which mine where then you can go for the 19mm bushing they work great. I replaced the bolts with M8 x 20mm 8.8 ones as I had some spare and they worked great. Let me know how you get on ;)
Hi got one questin, what should be the size of the swaybar bushing after remouving plastic sleve that seat on the bar ? What is the diemeter ? I bought 21mm and iam thing about Puting 20mm polibushing, i Reali dont know what to do
Hi Mikolaj, thanks for the comment. I went for 19mm without the plastic sleeve. Has worked great and held the bar well. Just double check the size of your anti roll bar as mine is on a 180bhp quattro. Good luck with the job and hope all goes well 👍
@@Witty924 thank you very much, I thing after my measuring mine bar in 180 hp fwd is 20,60mm so I thing I will go with 20 mm polibushing
@@MikolajMajchrowski you will be able to do a 19mm on that as you have the same from anti roll bar as I do. Let me know how you get on 👍
@@Witty924 i will, and i have News i called to aso and got from service and he sad I need to put 20 mm
@@MikolajMajchrowski good to hear and good luck with the job 👍
hm...do we really have to remove the bracket , is it not possible to use "slide off, slide on" method?
If it works for you absolutely do it. I found it easier to do with the brackets removed to ensure the bushes sat correctly as I downsized the bushes given that the orginal bushes also had a plastic houses that crackes off over time. Hope that helps 👍
@@Witty924awesome comment! Going to do my bushings soon, appreciate the video man huge help
@@wyleybug thanks Wyley, let me know how it goes for you, hopefully smooth sailing 🤞👍
Hey! Great vid, usefull ;) I wonder, what is the inner size of the bushings, since without the plastic, it need to be smaller ? 20, 21 mm ?
By the way, the side with larger ( two bolds ) plate depend on TT model . I have it, and yes, it’s a pain :/
Hi Rene, thanks for the comment 👍 so the new bushes I fitted were 19mm. They have done a great job of holding the bar in place. A small dab or grease on the arb and the drop links means no squeaks too. Happy to report the car is running great. 🚙💨
Ok. 19 mm, thanx. If my plastic rig are still ok, maybe 20 mm would be good I guess ?
@@renedewael9703 if the plastic sleeves are in good condition with no cracks then 20mm will be good. Best to take them off if they are not in top condition as it will save you doing the job twice 👍
Ah yes. Good advice ;)
