lupo_gaz Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Does anyone know what size the arb on the lupo gti is. I've been looking at the powerflex bushings on here http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?sho...26852&st=20 and there are none listed for the lupo gti but a 21mm and a 23mm for the arosa. Does anyone know if these will fit on the lupo gti and which one i would need to order 21mm or 23mm? Edited May 14, 2007 by lupo_gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Why does Powerflex quote 21mm then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 changing the subject a tad. if the bushes are on their way out what kind of noise would you expect to hear?mines started to make a bit of a knock/rattle? could this be arb bushes?

Clouseau Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 just measured the arb again on front of gti, it can vary in places had 22.2 and 22.5mm. so if you got a choice of 21 and 23mm i would go for the 23mm bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaPD Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 just measured the arb again on front of gti, it can vary in places had 22.2 and 22.5mm. so if you got a choice of 21 and 23mm i would go for the 23mm bush.The GTi ARB is 22mm, so I'd be inclined to go for 21mm personally, you don't want any movement and if you go for 23mm there will be excessive play.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouseau Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 unless the 21mm bush is so stiff and tight it wont fit over a 22mm arb.the 23mm bush may tighten down with the mounting bolts to the required hold.or either bush may be fine until they are tested out.

lupo_gaz Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 so people think that a 21mm one will be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 The Eibach one is 21mm according to their website, which I was quite suprised by! I thought the bigger the size the less travel it allows but I may be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_gaz Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 this is for the bushing on a gti arb. not the arb itself. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I should be able to organise a group buy on any powerflex bushes you want if interested, as manage a website for a car parts supplier and sure a discount can be organised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcrook Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 i'd be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_gaz Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 i would too. any chance you can get some sort of group prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 As the group buy is for all/any powerflex bushes it would be on a as they come basis, as long as you can get the part number off the powerflex site.I would guess 15% discount but still need to confirm with him next week as he is away at the moment.Plus delivey which would not be much any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
