Potential GB - Powerflex missing bushes

[Flat on my back]

Right...

Next is the diff...what else apart from the obvious front/rear mounts needs to be disconnected, eg wiring or vacuum lines?

[madpugger]

Sorry I am offshore so am of no help!

Has anyone had any feedback from B5 or other B4q owners on other forums yet?

2 vacuum hoses and 1 cable on the passangerside of the car, @the back

[Flat on my back]

We have lift off...

News is the diff and subframe are now off and ready to go...to Powerflex.

Really not quite sure the whole lot will fit into my poor old 90?

Anyone able to help with the delivery?

I can't help here Carlos, but I'm happy to be a guinea pig on the upper wishbone bushes - cast variety - do we have any clue when samples might appear ?

.

Not sure who has been in contact with PF.

Need them to PM me so we can have a chat...

Where are PF exackerly?

Can I be so bold to ask that the upper wishbone bushes get looked at first - for cast applications - the feeling I'm getting is that the inner bushes have same diameter as used on pressed arms, but they need to be shorter in length for a nice fit in the cast arm... To be confirmed of course - Would be a very easy tweak for PF if that is the case to productise such a variant.

[Flat on my back]

Carlos, got your PM ta

Good work!

I will give you a call tonight hopefully, once I have finished work. And I will try and call PF tomorrow.

My mate with an RS4 has said he will bring the topic up on the forum he uses, but no idea if he has or which one it is.

See here for pic http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37633, and here http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showpos...&postcount=439 for Anders solution. Also worth noting early cast arms have a 180mm bolt, later pressed arms have a 212mm bolt. I'm working on the basis you can shorten the bushing, centre sleeve, and use the later 208mm bolts. ....to be confirmed of course

Or Powerflex could make us the correct bushes
