- 2001 Golf TDI Automatic, MKIV rear axle bushing install tools
After searching here and vortex I decided to have a set of tooling made before doing my own bushings.
Took a new Bushing and an axle to a local machine shop who made me tooling.
Loaned them to a VW shop who called today with very good results.
I couldn't find anything to really do this that a fella could afford where the odds were good the car wouldn't be down while running around freezing things, looking for C-clamps, etc. when I do my own car.
I may sell and or rent these tools. If I could have found something that worked I would have gladly bought them to begin with. Even for one job on my car with 175k that's seen Northeast winters it's whole life. Just to make life easier.
At some point I will post on the vortex to see if there is any demand since I couldn't find a good solution there either for the tooling issue.
Anyways anyone out there that may be interested in this?
If so I'll probably post somewhere in the for sale section. I'm not a vendor - just an individual that needed a solution for himself and was afraid of the workarounds that I had seen.
Just trying to gauge interest. I was surprised that nothing really existed.
