Thanks for the tip!!

[Mk2] [Turbo] Wheel Nut Torque Settings

I had new tyres fitted the other day but noticed the fitters didn't torque my nuts :| which I didn't think much of before but now I'm a little concerned.

Does anyone know the correct wheel nut torque settings or am i just being a bit panicky for nothing..

Re: [Mk2] Replacing Bushes

Thanks JohnnyC.

That post is really good!! It does mention their will be spring tension when removing the front control arms though but a jack should be able to withstand this?

Really appreciate your help mate. :thumleft:

Can I just confirm though - Are you guys saying you can access the bolts with the wheels on the floor so long as the wheels are at full lock?...

and if the burning material gets onto exposed skin it can eat away at it. :shock: Cheers for the response guys. I'm hoping to do the front control arms this weekend, do I need any special tools.

[Mk2] Replacing Bushes

I understand that a blow torch or vice is recommended to remove the OEM bushes, but if they are so difficult to remove, how easy is it to put in new ones? (I'm assuming they don't just pop in - or do they??) :-k

Re: Suspension Bushes

Any joy with this as I need bushes for my front track control arms and just like you, can't find anyone who does them individually as opposed to as part of the set.

Re: Poly bushes fitting guide ?

Would it be advised to replace the bushes if there is play in the front control arms or do i need to replace the whole arm itself?
