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
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
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.

@@catfisher420 bushings are $7 ea on FCP vs $80-130 (stamped vs cast) complete arms. Seems the prices are not the same.

Thank you for your feedback!
it doesnt get more DIY than this. love it

Doing this job tomorrow on my golf, i have a hydraulic press but actually looks like it may be easier in the vice due to the shape of the wishbone
Thank you for your feedback!
How deep should the bushing be after pressing? Or it will move to correct position while driving? You can press it ~2mm off the center.
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
Ignore all couch mechanics who knows everything but never replaced rim in their life
Video helped me on my Mk6 GTI
Thank you for your feedback!
This looks highly questionable but I respect the hustle and it appears to have worked. Not sure I'm going to try it myself tho

Undo the dog bone mount, you can then tilt the engine, which let's the front bolt clear the dsg
Those control arm bushings are stretch bolts and need to be replaced every time they are taken out, torque values are important as well.
Yep

which grease do you used ?
You can use silicone grease.
Not the recommended way, but it works.
Thank you for your feedback!
wow thats brutal :0

This is savage
Super job.
A decent drill bit will get the bush out Don't forget to take the aluminium sleeve out too Replace with POWERFLEX quality item
Thank you for your feedback!
A disaster!!!!
Why is that? This tutorial is made for people who doesn't have the required tools.
Silacone greese n. easy with tool kit for me
Nuts, Bolts, SCREWS?... clean the PLACE? You mean my garage?
the grease damage the rubber!!!What a pity!
you could use silicone grease that should be rubber safe. I have a bottle of 3M from amazon that should last a life time of vehicles in our family.
Agreed, plus they said "You could sand the bushing" lol that will ruin the purpose of the bushing causing vibration.
Looks like hes using silicone paste to me
It is cheaper to replace the whole arm....dont let them fool you
+Greg Mosely HOW THE FUCK IS IT CHEAPER? New arms cost $160 each while new bushings are $20 a pair.
u should have used washing up liquid . it's safe
I would slap you silly if you use a screwdriver to touch the bushes !
Bolts
Thanx a lot! Do you have the tightening torque values for the screws by chance?
