Hello! Is this supposed to be like that? Control arm moves up and down on the bushing. Its not problem, at least not yet but i was only wondering. Every picture i found about verkline front arm bushings on audi c4 chassis, bushing was this way,like in the second picture i took from verkline website. Bushing wasnt very tight to control arm hole but it was not loose,however it doesn't seem to stay in place firmly
Outside part of bushing is aluminium? It definitely has to stay fixed and not move up and down. Suspension geometry changes little bit every time it moves. Either the bushing outside diameter is too small or control arm hole is worn.
Verkline catalogue shows street hardness (red) bushings being 2 piece full polyurethane bushings with metal shims on either side and track hardness (black) 1 piece bushing with metal outside, like OEM bushing but with extra lip on one side. Yours appears to be street hardness 1 piece bushing? What is the outer part made of, steel?
Yes catalogue shows 2piece bushing but its really one piece like the black track hardness bushing and yes outer part is steel. Bushing is not loose to control arm hole but not so tight that it would stay in place in the hole so i wonder if i need to put bushing other way around,extra lip side to top
I would suggest you to do couple of tiny tack welds around the lip area, fixing the bushing to control arm. 4 small spots diagonally should be sufficient. Let it cool in between welds so it doesn't damage the bushing itself. This way it is strong enough to not let it slide up and down and weak enough to be pressed out with hydraulic press, if you need to change the bushing in the future. The welds will crack loose and excess metal can be just filed or grinded away. Been there done that, not with Audi though.
