hey guys, as the title states, I'm in need of the bushing that is on teh lower part of the knuckle of the rear wheels. The bushing where the eccentric bolt goes through. From my search at ECS, GermanAuto, and Rockauto, none of them apparently have what I'm looking for. Can someon please point me in teh right direction?? I just want the bushing, i do not want to buy the whole control arm, I'm hoping this is possible. A Link would be really great.

 

NAPA has them. You have to find out if it comes with both pieces tho most places just sell one at a time and you need 2 for one side..

 

no, the bushing your referring too chocolate is the bushings that hold the control arm to the sub-frame. Those require 2, i'm referring to the the bushing that goes on the bottom of the rear spindle/knuckle. AS a matter of fact, new rear lower control arm does not even come with this bushing, as per ECS:

that empty spot where the eccentric toe adjustment bolt goes through, that is the bushing i need.

I need to change my bearing on that side, and this bolt is rust welded to the bushing. I have banged with a sledge hammer, PB blasted it, penetrating oil, WD-40, anything you can think of, it was doused with with no result. The funny thing is that i was able to get it out like about 1/2", but after that no more...............simply just frustrating.........the onky other remedy will be to acetylene that bitch, but that will obviously jack up my bushing, so I wanna buy one to replace it.

 

I feel like an ***.............i just used one of the ads that appear on the right, the "audi online parts...#1 source for OEM parts" and i found it...........this is what i was looking for:

Sorry chocolate, im assuming you were right, according to the pic, I need 2?? is this correct? Or do i just need to order one, and it comes in 2 pieces?

Is this the same thing from ECS???:

From what they say, its 2 per side???

 

Yup the 2nd one you posted from ecs is it. You do need two of them . My bolt was the same way I used a grinding wheel and cut the bolt off at both ends and then just tapped it threw.

 

Did you try doing a search on just the manufacture part number(8D0505171) listed on ECS? I found the exact same part number and manufacture name brand on Purems for $14.95. That is much cheaper then ECS and the other link posted.
