    subframe bushes

    Am about to refurb front and rear subframes and have been looking at bush options.
    Talked with local Audi dealer who said that rear has 2 different types of bush ie not 4 the same and 2 different types on the front subframe also. Is this correct ?
    I thought I had read that 4 on rear are the same and 4 on front are the same.
    Can somebody clarify what is correct ?
    Car is a '96 aby Coupe.
    Thanks

    There are indeed 2 bushes - one is taller than the other.

    Alloy bushes don't meet in the centre and so are all the same.

    Not sure on poly.

      Poly are different to alloy they have seperate top and bottom bushes they differ in shape and the subframe doesn't fit correctly if you get them the wrong way round, ask Error404

        I have a set for sale that suit the rear and *some* front subframes. They are the Supaflex ones and suit the 10mm dia bolts. (Bought in error I have 12mm dia bolts on the front!)

        PM me for info.
