diameter on cast wishbone bushings

[lind4hl]

hi, what is the diameter of these? because i have 1 bigger and 1 smaller hole in my front cast wishbones first i thought it was a piece of the bushing, but it seems that it is some type of pressed in metal sleeve that has popped out from the controlarm.

so what is the diameter

[saltinot]

Both inner bushings on the front control arms are the same diameter...44.4mm

If one is smaller then you probably have the outer metal peice of the old bushing still inside.

[lind4hl]

thank you

[lind4hl]

here you got something to think about:


the upper bushing hole is 44mm diameter
the lower bushing hole is 34mm diameter

no old bushing/ sleeves left

Doesn't smell right - what is part number on that arm ?

[saltinot]

Got any close up pics?

also, there are only two choices for the control arm bushings 44mm (cast arm) and 37mm (stamped arm).

[lind4hl]

yes i know that this is seriously wrong, i even have had an mate from VAG to look at it, and it is these sizes on my bushings


no part nr though.

but u have fixed the problem, milled down an 37mm bushing into 34.2mm

the P/N are on the controlarm....

[lind4hl]

yes i know, just dont know it yet, i will check it next time when i am in the garage :tumbs:

Guessing its a control arm from something much older maybe... Strange alright.

[lind4hl]

maybe, the car is an import from germany, but it doesent matter really, have milled down an delrin bushing just curious why mine is "wrong" arm

MIne are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to machine down the poly bush to fit!
One was as normal, the other was alot smaller!

Strange but at least theres two like this!
