Replacing mounting bushings can be expensive, so we show you how to make your own mounting bushings and lower control arm bushings using liquid polyurethane! We just happen to be upgrading the bushings on our Audi Quattro race car.

After years of scoffing at it, I finally tries hot glue a couple months ago. It's definitely not for every job but what it is good for man it's GOOD for. I found pretty quickly that a decent glue gun and using high strength industrial hot glue really steps its usefulness up!
Nice work…really messy job…I always wondered why bushings were so expensive i guess this is why lol
Dang Rich, is there anything you can't make? You are definitely going to have the most "built" car at the competition. You're even making parts. I can almost guarantee that everyone else will be like, I'll just go buy that!

Hahaha love this. Step 1: Flip your parts car upside down on your garage floor.
Actually AKMotorsport in Poland makes polyurethane bushings for these cars (same as Audi C3 and C4) 🙂
should put a vibrating sander on the parts some were to give it that vibration to make all the voids pop out of the urethane
Cool video! I wouldn't shave any off of that metal through spacer on the cradle mount. It doesn't need to be even with the isolator that you made. The metal through spacer is what hard mounts to the body of the vehicle and the isolator is what holds the cradle to the bolt/through spacer. The isolator's only purpose is to hold the pin in correct position in the cradle and provide side-to-side, front-to-back, and up and down stability. At least that is how it appears over YouTube. Just a thought, correct me if I'm wrong.
