Avant rear bush list

[Christophski]

Hi guys

The time has come for me to strip off the rear of my avant at the end of February so I can rebush the lot and give it a lick of paint underneath before it gets to a state of in need of repair.

Before i start pulling the car apart and then waiting for ages for parts I was wondering if anyone could give me a list of bushes at the rear of an avant?

I am going with Poly all round for longevity. I already have new drop links ready adn a set of antiroll bar bushes but thats it.

Any help with a list of what to buy would be great!

Thanks in advance
Chris

Rear diff bush, wishbone bushes and subframe mounts but you can choose to have these solid or poly

Thanks bud.

So having searched the Powerflex website, anyone know where I can get the rear subframe and diff bushes from as they dont seem to list on their website? Or are they the same as the Coupe ones?

There are no rear poly subframe bushes available for the avant as far as I know. I got my solid ones from bambridge. They are not the same as coupe, they are huge in comparison.

The lower outer bush is also not available in poly as its quite complex. OEM is the only way to go.

You will also want to take note if you have upper cast or pressed wishbones as the bushes are different.

Rear Diff bushes are cheap from OEM, but you can get them in poly for the B5 S4. They will do. 034 Motorsport might have them.
Front diff poly bush is also available from 034 .

Looks liek I might be giving Mr Bambridge a shout again then lol.

Cheers Rikki... he was going to be my next port of call. Im going to get in touch with him for some more Meyle HD top mounts for the front soon anyway.

DNA for top mounts, just done mine makes a massive difference, the old ones were only in for a few years reckon they were snide ones

You'll find all the part numbers for front + rear avant on my thread... I would post a link but I can't bring myself to find it. Car is rotting on the driveway, change of scenery (work) and rushed bathroom renovation took priority so most of my bush sets are sat in the garage covered in a few mm of marble dust...

From memory I got OEM drop links and tierods; bambridge tie rod end bushes; apikol diff mount set; power flex upper/lower wishbone inner and outer.

I've chickened out of doing the rear subframe on the driveway - but you can either go solid or go 034 HD rubber.

....The lower outer bush is also not available in poly as its quite complex. OEM is the only way to go.

Rear Diff bushes are cheap from OEM, ...

So guys, I have decided on OEM subframe bushes so the ride isnt to harsh and this lower outer bush that also has to be OEM...

Can anyone helop me with part numbers please so I can order the correct thing through PTS? I dont trust them as usually A2 items turn up unless I give them the correct numbers through you guys.

Thanks
