Golf sway bar bushing replacement

[neoupa2002]

As title, any suggestions for an OEM application sway bar bushing replacement?

VW for the Mk7 Golf does not have separate part numbers to replace the bushings on the factory sway bars...at least it doesn't show on the parts diagrams.

For aftermarket, I can only find one manufacturer that does the bushings, but for poly/race applications.

ECS sells a poly kit for the OEM bar, but requires you to tear off the old bushings. I tried and gave up. Its a PITA.

Powerflex make a poly bushing replacement as well

Does anyone know if the previous gen bushings would work on a sway bar with the same diameter?

Depends on the design of the previsous generation bushing housing.

call a dealer. just because it's not on the parts diagram doesn't mean it's not for sale. idk in this case but I've found parts like cv boot clamp, not shown on the parts diagram.

So I've found a 21.7mm bushing off of the Mk6 Golf R; part number is:

1K0511327AS, with the retaining bracket 1K0511439E.

Anyone try to see if they fit or if they're similar to the Mk7 Golf bushings?

I asked my parts guy, he said, in this case, no, you can't get the bushings separated.
