   Hi guys,
   
   I know this is in the wrong section but I need a quick reply!
   
   My mechanic has just phoned me to tell me that Kam-Racing have sent incorrect anitroll bar inner bushes for my car. The bar is 22mm (according to vernier calipers) and the bushes are 20mm. My car is a 2003 106 GTi. Anyone had this problem?
   
   (They are Powerflex bushes)
   
   So he wants me to confirm that the rest of the bushes fit before he starts taking off wishbones etc.
   
   The parts we are querying are PFF12/101 (Front wish bone) and PFR12/109 (Rear beam mounts)
   
   Apparently my car does not even need PFF12/103.
   
   Anyone have any of these on their car or know anything about it?
   
   Rep for information!
   
   P.S. I've emailed Kam-Racing, but as yet, no reply

   I know vtr's and vts's can have different sized front anti roll bars but i didnt think it would 2mm... Did you specify which car they were for?
   
   Rear beam mounts should be ok as their sizes never changed. Cunt of a job todo though.
   
   What bush is the last part number?

   ARB ones just slide in place.
   
   Rear beam ones just bolt in place.
   
   Wishbone ones will need the old ones burned/cut without harming the wishbone and the new ones lubed up and pressed in. I just used a vice to get them in

   Right phoned powerflex, apparently the antiroll bar ones are incorrect
   
   Everything else is fine, but gti bar is 22mm.

   yea the gti has a thicker anti roll bar that a vts
   the vts is 20mm the gti is 22
   so they probably sent a vts kit as everything else is identical

    Cheers Alex, Repped.
    
    Is it easyish to bore out the 20mm one to 22mm, or should I just reorder?
    
    EDIT: This is considering my car is sat in my mechanics workshop as we speak
