Top tip - put bushing in the freezer night before and take it out when your going to install, rubber will contract a bit, then cover in silicone grease. It will pop straight in
PRO TIP. Just buy pre assembled control arms and save yourself a shit ton of hassle. They are usually even cheaper than buying the bushings themselves.
Only video I could find where dude actually shows how to press rubber bushing in (one with lip) so big thanks to you! Although I'll be using silicone grease and puller set instead
Be very careful if you want to do this procedure and you value your life.This bolts are torque to yield and not reusable. Front bush must be retorqued last and under load to avoid premature wear.Torque specs are: Front control arm bush bolt-70nm+180° Rear control arm bush-2x16mm bolts 50 Nm+90° 1x18mm bolt 70 Nm+90° Ball joint nuts 60 Nm
Who cares, I’ve reused “stretch bolts” on my mk5 and now over 100k miles later there is never an issue, you can if you really want to but as long it’s torqued like that so what?
They're not fucking stretch bolts. Every damn idiot on the internet keeps saying that every bolt VW and Audis use are stretch bolts. Torque to yield bolts are used ONLY ON THE THE ENGINE!!!!!!!! TTY bolts will fail on suspension. The Bentley manual always just recommends replacing bolts on every job as a precaution!
@@HagakureJunkie Not correct. Any bolt that is specified as a torque value plus an angular final turn is a stretch bolt. There are many on the suspension/subframe mountings. Having said that, I always reuse them :) The only ones I've evrer had an issue with are injector hold down bolts. They do snap or come lose if not replaced and you really don't want that happening.
would a threaded bar with a nut and big washer on one end, and a nut on the other not have been better to push the bushing in? Put the washer up against the bush, tighten a nut behind it, then tighten the nut at the other end and it should force the washer against the bush and force it in
Thanks bro, may I know is there any fast method take the left control arm bolt? I know people generally lower the subframe a bit, so any faster method? My cat is touran with 7 speed dsg
