    Hours of trying to get the pinch bolt out, I finally gave up. I'm taking my car to a shop to get the bolt removed on Monday, so my question is how safe to drive it all weekend with almost no rubber bushings left on control arms? There's some up-n-down play in the left one now. Is it going to...

    Hi all, Anyone knows if the bushings on the front stabilizer bar on a 2008 Passat (B6) can be changed? or the only solution to front stabilizer bar problem is to change the whole stabilizer bar? I am asking because the I have an issue and the dealer, as usual, is asking to change the front...

    I would like to replace the front subframe bushings on my W8 while I am under there to do the control arms. I would like to know what is required to replace the bushings. The Bentley has nothing on the topic. Do these require a press to get them in/out, or can they be pulled in/out with a...

    Im getting some clunking noises on the front passenger side of my 2008 Passat. Its only when I go over uneven surfaces/pot holes. If I go over a speed bump and both wheels hit it at the same time, there is no noise. I bought sway bar end links for both sides, but I haven't installed them yet...

    So the drivers front suspension on my passat wagon makes the "creaking ship" noise, only when cold out, when going over low speed bumps. I have seen this mentioned in many threads after doing a search, but I haven't seen any DIY's for it. How difficult is it to address this for a home mechanic...

    I did search but did not find what I was looking for, like Bono. I replaced the lower fronts because one had a torn ball joint boot. When I got the lower front arm out, the lower rear, still connected to the spindle, just flopped around. It looked like the bushing in the frame was destroyed...
