BFI MK8/MQB Control Arms - Solid Rubber Bushings

A WORLD FIRST solid rubber bushing upgrade for MK8 vehicles

These RS3 style solid rubber control arm bushings make the best possible OEM+ upgrade for your MQB vehicle. By eliminating the voids in the rubber and having a completely solid rubber bushing, you will gain a significant amount of feel and response during spirited driving, while introducing minimal additional noise, vibration or harshness into the cabin.

The benefits of a solid rubber bushing include:

• Less deflection of the control arm under load 
• Reduced deflection under "bump" load
• Increased quickness on steering turn-in
• Decreased Wheel hop on launch

In addition to the added performance benefits, the solid rubber bushings will last longer than the original OE style as they cannot tear and fail as the factory design is prone to doing. If your car has anywhere near 50k+ miles on it, then you will surely benefit from this simple upgrade! 

We make the whole process of installation simple by offering these preinstalled in brand new control arms. You will have no need to press out your old bushings, but simply bolt these in and go! In addition we have added brand new ball joints to replace your aging pair, which is yet another bit of peace of mind! 

 

Sold in pairs.
