Good evening. I am in need of some bushes and before I order from the states, thought I would ask if anyone had them for sale? I need rear trailing arm bushes and front upper control arm bushes?? For a 1999 5th gen bb8 a8
Thank you please yes.

Has anyone got these that they are not using yet? And I can order new ones in exchange? I really need these asap and it's a long wait for delivery of new ones.

Worst case scenario bud (If you've got the car booked in and don't want to reschedule) get your guy to do all the other bushes and he can do the rear trailing arms on a second visit. I don't know how many guys he'll have working on your car, but I had to leave my lude overnight for him to finish the next day anyway (He had spent that entire day on it with one other guy). I believe you should be able to get your lude tracked and aligned without needing it re-done when he eventually does the trailing arms. If that makes sense...

Iv got all the suspension parts off and my mate is removing all the old bushes and ball joints, sandblasting and then am going to repaint it all, he is then going to re bush and fit all New ball joints. My own fault for rushing into getting the car stripped and not having everything ready. Was just hoping that someone might have the bushes lying around and not ready to fit. I could of replaced theirs with the ones I order.

Ahh I see. Assume you tried those places I'd suggested?

Just gone back on WhatsApp and relised iv not tried Hond R yet. On the website they have got rear trailing arm bushes, just need to ring them tomorrow to ask about the upper control arm bushes. The other places only do the trailing arm ones but say it can take 4weeks to get them.

Could I just buy some after market toe arms?

You could, but I'm not sure that's going to help your missing trailing arm bushes issue

Trailing arm bushes are the ones highlighted here...

The toe arm is refered to as "Lower arm 8" in that image
