Replaced the rear suspension bushes on the car over the weekend. noticed the one on the drivers side had a split on it and it didn't look too healthy compared to the passenger side.
Bought some replacement ones from VW spares.

Genuine Febi parts the same as you would get from the dealer with 6 bolts for £93 including postage. You can get cheaper generic parts but they aren't that much cheaper.
You can see a new and old one here. The only difference is the VW AUDI logo has to be ground off if it's not sold at the dealers. They are apprently something like £160 each at the dealer.
And the old one that was split fell apart when I took it off.
Car definately rides better and I don't get a bump now from the rear when going across drain covers or speed bumps. Also explains why the ride height was lower on the drivers side.
