ELA-068 Fitting Instructions

When using the car on track it is impossible to set up proper rear camber with OEM arms. The more stress you put on the OEM arms the more the rubber on arm compresses and you lose what was very precisely set during car alignment. Now it is possible to easily set up and maintain desired camber on your track car.

For that reason, we have come up with inserts for wheel bearing housing and the rear lower wishbone that the spring sits on. Our inserts use metal to metal uniball just like used in the Porsche RS line (GT2RS, GT3RS). Tested intensively on our Track TTRS.

Product functionalities:
– no rubber to bend, you will not lose the geometry while cornering that was set when doing aliment

Features:
– CNC machined from 7075 aluminum and anodized in black and silver
– M18 and M16 uniball
– metal bushings galvanized in black

What is included:
– four inserts (this is a kit for one car)

Not for AWD cars with aluminum rear wheel bearing housing.

Used in cars (type numbers in brackets):

  • 2013 + Audi A3 (8V & 8VFL MQB)
  • 2013 + Volkswagen Golf/GTI (Mk7 MQB + Mk8)
  • 2012 + Seat Leon (5F MQB)

Replaces:
– 1K0505553A / 1K0 505 553A – uprights bush
– 5Q0505553 / 5Q0 505 553 – inner bush

Note: Installation of this rear insert kit will introduce some additional NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) transfer into the cabin.

About these Suspension Bushings

The VERKLINE ela-068 bushing cushions the joint between suspension parts and the car's body, absorbing vibration while controlling movement. As bushings crack or soften, handling becomes vague and the suspension starts to knock.

Frequently asked questions

What are the signs of worn bushings?

Clunking over bumps, wandering or vague steering, a shimmy under braking, uneven tire wear, and visible cracks, tears or separated rubber.

What is the difference between rubber and polyurethane bushings?

Rubber bushings, like factory parts, prioritise comfort and quietness. Polyurethane bushings are firmer, sharpening handling and lasting longer, but they can pass more noise and vibration into the cabin.

Can I replace bushings myself?

Many bushings must be pressed out of and into their arm or bracket, which needs a press or a dedicated bushing tool. Some are sold already fitted to a new arm, which is often simpler.

Is anything special needed during installation?

Tighten bushing bolts with the car at normal ride height so the bushing is not twisted at rest, and have an alignment done after replacing bushings that affect wheel position.

How do I make sure this suspension bushing fits my car?

Compare the part numbers listed on this page with the number on your old part or in your vehicle's parts catalog, and check the fitment information. If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
