    URS6 Front Bushes. Audi or Pollybush?

    As title suggests, my S6 wants front bushes AGAIN and i'm debating to put genuine Audi bushes in or pollybush it due to them not lasting long.

    My M3 is Pollybushed all round and feels fine but its a very different kind of use! The S6 is nt just a toy and is used for allsorts! Has anyone got one on polly? Are they too stiff or do they feel ok?

        What do you use the car for? If it's only used on the road, then some decent quality rubber bushes will tighten things up without squeaking or giving additional noise or vibration in the cabin.

          Yeh to be honest, even if it sees a track, it won't ever be a 'track car', its used as a fast road car really

            have you ever done the bushes where the front bottom arm bolt goes in thru the subframe rich?they sit into the floorpan.not many people seem to know they exist but well worth changing if never done b4.only aftermarket ones i know are made by 'thuppu' on here,totally solid tho so not sure how they are on a road car.

                either do them when subframe off or undo gearbox mounts and front subframe bolts and let the frame sit down at the back and you can just squeeze them in.they are held in by 3 bolts

                    As Spink says, I am unaware of any poly bush kits available for the front of the C4 chassis so this will no doubt make the decision for you.

                            I only know of the rear subframe bushes which I believe he can do in Delrin or Aluminium. I have the original prototype Delrin versions and I'm very pleased with them.

                            I wonder whether Bambridge would be interested in developing some other C4 chassis parts? Although I guess it will depend on demand.

                              i wonder if the outer bush on the rear tie rods would be doable.seems daft to replace them when the ball joint rarely fails,and oem are 130 each apparently
