I found the reason my rear suspension was *clunking*... the bushings on my "new" AKA OEM 2012 GTI rear sway bar have gone bad... after a month -_-

I guess I'm getting new bushings then! Any suggestions?

SuperPro has a suite a quality GTI suspension components. I'd definitely check out their bushings, you may be tempted by some of their other offerings. Whiteline is another manufacturer you can check out.

ECS tuning will have some upgraded bushings. I don't know the brand name.

Two year old GTI with 26k miles... close enough to new

I don't know enough about VW aftermarket. I would suggest not OEM.

Are they polyurethane?

As far as I know, yes.

Are they only available from their website? They seem pretty expensive at over $20 each...

I don't know, sorry. $20 is not that much where I live.. So I can't really give an answer.

Look at like this, you can spend a buck or two now and then on shit parts, or you can spend 20 on something that'll last :)

But they are the only set that isn't VW OEM... :(

Really? Nobody else make bushings for that car?

I had Powerflex bushings on my Golf Mk2 GTi 16v and they were awesome, but I'm sure there were other companies out there that made bushings.

None that make Polyurethane bushings for the stock 21.7mm rear GTI swaybar...

maybe I should just wait and buy these:

You could, but that's not cheaper though is it? :)

Not really, but it would actually be an UPGRADE!

And.... I just realized that it was probably a loose endlink

D'OH
