No More 5Q0-505-171 Failure With 44FC

General

The 44FC, fits over 21 V.A.G vehicles, including some favourites like the Audi A3, Seat Leon, and VW Golf.

The Problem with the Original Bush (5Q0-505-171): The original bush (5Q0-505-171) is a notorious troublemaker. Whether it’s on your VW Golf or Tiguan, it tends to fail more often than we as owners would like. Both the OEM and other rubber alternatives suffer from galvanic corrosion.
Galvanic corrosion is a nasty process where dissimilar metals, in this case, your bolt and the bush tube essentially weld themselves together.
The result? When it’s time for alignment, your mechanics are stuck in a tough spot – having to cut off the bolt, destroy the bush, and replace the lower control arm.

Enter Polybush’s 44FC: Say goodbye to galvanic corrosion headaches! Our 44FC not only allows for maximum adjustment, ensuring a smooth alignment process, but it’s also highly resistant to galvanic corrosion. This means you won’t find yourself in a mechanic’s nightmare scenario. And the best part? Our bushings last 4-5 times longer than their rubber counterparts, giving you performance benefits without cranking up the NVH.

NVH, Anyone?: NVH stands for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness. In simple terms, it’s what you feel and hear when driving. With Polybush’s 44FC, you get all the performance perks without increasing NVH levels. Your drive will be as smooth as it was from new.

Why Alignment Matters: Now, why is alignment crucial, whether you’re tearing up the track or cruising through town. A good alignment ensures your tyres meet the road at the right angle, maximizing traction, and minimizing tyre wear. It’s not just about performance – it’s about safety and efficiency.
Imagine taking those tight corners with precision, knowing your alignment has your back. That’s the kind of driving experience we all crave, no matter the car, be it a classic or a new vehicle.

The Perfect Duo: 44FC and 44BC: When you’re upgrading to the 44FC, why not go all the way? We recommend pairing it up with the 44BC – Rear Track Arm Outer Bush. Fitting these two together means you can wave goodbye to wheel deflection, keeping your alignment intact even in the tightest corners.

Complete Peace of Mind: And because we care about your car as much as you do, we offer all the other bushes for all the main V.A.G vehicles. Total peace of mind – that’s what we’re all about.

Ready to transform your driving experience? Polybush’s 44FC is here to make it happen. Upgrade today, and let your V.A.G vehicle unleash its full potential on the road.
