longtrek Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Spoke to you about these at VWFestival. Yes we did, dint take any pics but to do it you turn down the height of the TT bush, then make some spacer washers to make the height of the TT bush match the original Lupo bush. The centre whole of the TT bush is of smaller diameter than the Lupo one. The Lupo has such a large whole to take into account the sub-frame varies in position onto the car body. It can move quite a bit believe it or not. Because the TT bush is made from aluminium I did not want to drill it out to match the Lupo’s diameter as this i feel would weaken the bush too much. To get around this i trial fitted the control arms then filled it at an angle of about 1 degree off the centre aluminium until it fitted. on my car the sub-frame was not far our, one side didn't require any filling the other just 1 millimetre in one corner. Then fit it all back together as you would normally do, torque up the bolts. The drivers side one is hard because of the sump been in the way. The trial and error was well worth the end results. If any one want the actual dimension just ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
