Ray, will Super Beetle track control arm bushings, especially the urethane ones, fit the 411/412 track control arms? Somewhere in this post you mentioned Rabbit track control arm bushings will fit. Which years Rabbit?
Thanks, Jan Peter

No, super beetle is totally different. Try the early to mid 80's rabbits. Essentially all of the rabbitt, golf, jetta,sirrocco...used the same bushing. As of late, the original one with the 3 bumps on the end are no longer produced. The brazilian replacements ae crap. But still plenty of old style ones around. By the way, its the front control arm bushings you want. The urethane ones would be nice. Since they are stiffer and compress less, they will be harder to install. You may have to sand on the urethane one just a bit. They all must be pressed in...or pulled in with a spacer tube and threaded rod ...with soap or graphite as a lubricant. Since the rabbit bushing is about 3/16" shorter on the bushing tube, a pair of thick washers, one on each end, will work perfectly. Ray
