Every Mk1 VW's steering precision can be transformed with a set of front and rear control arm bushings. Noise and vibration are not changed at all. However, the improvement in control and general "feel" is truly outstanding. You'll actually know what's going on at the front end of the car while maneuvering. Add polyurethane steering rack and rear beam bushings to complete a critical first stage of suspension transformation.
Turn the steering wheel on a car with tuned suspension and the car nearly "attacks" the corner. Driver confidence is high as the car tracks directly in the desired direction. Feel at the wheel is sharp and direct with traction information fed directly to the driver's hands. This is exactly what does NOT happen with numb and sloppy OEM bits. They mush under load and allow suspension geometry to distort.
Note: Rally cars should NOT use this polyurethane part. A new OEM bushing is best for longevity. The rear position may upgraded safely and effectively, however. Dedicated track racers may also opt for our MK1 Tubular Front Control Arms and Rear Beam Bearing kits. Similarly, the next step up for rack location are our Solid Billet Steering Rack Brackets.
These bushings are sold in the required number for one car for the specified location. (1)
