Pretty keen to replace the bushes in my 01 manual 1.6 MK4 throughout the front end...and back end I guess if it's not too costly. Anyone know anywhere I could find kits of some sort? Thanks
I have found OEM aren't too costly for these. Unless you want to upgrade to stiffer bushes - also look at ebay

theres numerous kits available from numerous places these guys ive linked you keep it pretty simple and organised with almost if not everything you need in the kits... there not too bad to deal with either, if there is problems they sort it pretty easily. like stan said ebay is good too.

depends what level you want to go to.
most just do control arm bushes and strut top bushes and bearings.
Could do the whole lot
tie rods
ball joints
sway bar end links
sway bar bushes
dog bone mount
rear beam bush
rear strut tops

would a 1.8t kit still fit a 1.6 though? not looking to turn this into anything special just want to get it back up and running properly and have noticed a few of the bushes are compressed and ****ty lookinh

I am sure the worst bush will be the rear control arm bush. Replace that with the one out of the TT/S3/R32 and leave the rest alone is my advice.
Don't fit poly bushes in the rear axle, they don't work correctly and will become worn out in a very short time.
