Im after some advice on changing a rear axel bush on my GTI as is got alot of play in it
what i want to know is can you do it with the axel still on the body, i know the 2 TB,S and ARB shock had to be taken off and then the bearing/bush has to be pressed in. i can get it pressed in by a mate who has a 10 ton press
also is this what i need? BUSH KIT
Would it be any cheaper on main dealer trade?
cheers kieron

it would be cheaper to get it from dealer (trade price).
i think you press the bearing into the arm but not the tube?

Ive seen a thread on here about it and they are pressed into the arm, but didnt know if you could just take the bars out, then bash the arm of from behind to get it off

I did a tasty 'How To' about fitting these, thread named 'How to change Rear Radius Arm Bearings' or something along those lines...
