    Powerflex question

    Hi.

    I'm about to buy some bushes for my S2 but i'm not sure which i should take.

    Steel or alloy arms?
    Should i take 24mm or 25mm (PFF3-103)

    Thanks

    there are no alloy arms - only pressed or forged steel.

    The pressed arms have the smaller diameter bushes

              Confused now by this thread
              I ordered some wishbone bushes earlier this year for my 2.8 CQ
              Gave the supplier chassis, registration etc and he sent me the PFF3-103 which I assume is the 25mm.
              I'm sure I have the pressed steel wishbones though
              For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

                chassis number means very little, its more of a lottery as to what Audi had in the parts bin when your car was built.... always best to check - its easy to tell the difference

                  Well I have definitely NOT got forged wishbones.
                  I spoke to the guy direct when it came to ordering mine and he assured me that I needed the 25mm ones for mine with the pressed steel wishbones
                  Is it just the S2's and the V6CQ that have the 25mm bush and the 20v and smaller have the 24mm ?

                    I had forged arms front and pressed steel at the rear.

                      no. as i said it was a lottery across the range, no pattern to it at all.
                      Forget what your supplier has told you its horse ****. get on your knees and have a look, is the only way you'll know for sure

                          Right, I know what your saying but I could only find two types of powerflex bushes when I bought mine. PFF3-101 for steel wishbones and PFF3-102 for alloy ones ?
                          This is the link


                          I have bought the 101's and I am about to buy another set for the rear !

                              I've been told that PFF3-102 should fit but not 101?
