Rear subframe refurb

[MikkiJayne]

A few of us have been working on finding parts for the rear subframe and control arms, and I have found one of the missing links - the subframe bushes themselves. The D2 bush is NLA, but the D3 bush fits perfectly







Made a press tool to fit them



These are Lemforder 27312 01, about £21 each. You can see where the Audi rings and part number have been ground off them

I'll update this thread as I go along with the exact part numbers used so we have a concise reference for what is needed. All I'm missing at the moment is the diff carrier bushes but I'm looking in to modifying the D2 carrier to take the D3 bushes.

Oh, and there's no source for the rear upper arm bushes, but since they don't seem to ever wear I'm not too bothered about those.

Parts list:

Main subframe bush - 4E0505145A, Lemforder 27312 01
Diff yoke bush - 4B3599257A, Febi 103 184, Lemforder 26622 01 ***needs machining***
Diff forward bush - 8E0599381B OE only
