thegoth 5 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 shot rear axle bushes? Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Very common on MK3's - the axle bushes always go. Cost around £50 per corner to change as the labour is what you'll be mostly paying for (Pain in the bum to do). Link to post Share on other sites
