On the mend, pushing myself as booked MOT for Tuesday
First one is the repaired arm.
Made a mess of getting rubber in but was told by VW repair shop it would be fine.
Took it straight to MOT garage (as is) they agreed
So began to reassemble.
This photo is the repaired arm.

Re: Rear arm bush replacement
Looks great. It’s a job I have to do and dreading doing it in case of trailing arms rotten (don’t look it mind).
Love the bush thingy-me-bob! I need one of those.
Well done though.

Re: Rear arm bush replacement
Thank you funkyoid.
I have bought these( before I was told mine were ok) just incase my attemt at bushes failed.
I came across them at Brickwerks while looking at powerflex products.
They aren't mentioned in their 'T3 suspension' section
They cost more than the original bushes but look easier to install.
Good luck with yours
