Hi, all!

When revising the front axle suspension, I found serios problems.

Almost all rubber bushings in the upper and lower supports of axle looks like that:



I can not explain this fact Maybe, they shifted themselves due to critical worn, may be the previous owner tried to replace them and pressed them wrong - I don't know But I have to repair that definitely.

The braskets on the axle are worn, but I'll solve this problem welding and grinding.

The main point of this topic is the rubber bushings and their partnombers and analogs.
According to ETKA, the lower support bushings nomber is 291407085, and the upper one is 291407085A

All bushings in my supports are identical and have the same nombers: 281505181 by VW/AUDI and 2-30-005110-01 by BOGE.
As i know, this partnamber is not for 4x4 LT and definitely not for the front axle supports.

I have ordered 4 bushings 291407085
But the nubbers on these bushings are... 281505181 by VW/AUDI and 2-30-005110-01 by BOGE
And these bushings are different from my old bushings



The main question is: is it possible to montage these new bushings instead of old?
The second question is: I have only 4 new bushings. At this moment I can't order neither 291407085 nor 281505181 bushings ((
May be anyone know the partnumber of an alternative suitable rubber bushings?

I'll be greateful for any information and help

P.S. Sorry for my poor English

Ok. I asked myself I answered myself

Hello .
Rubber on the main are différent up and down .
I don't remember but up or down is more tender .
May be for the move front axle to start and stop LT .

Hi, Bruno.

I know about the difference, thank you. But I had no choice. It's impossible to order original 291407085 and 291407085A I created this topic in order to find an adequate replacement. But no one knows or no one answers.
I didn't find any other suitable rubbers. Perhaps now the suspension does not work quite right, but it is much better than it was.

Yes, i think .
Different rubber's quality ,ok, but better with another news rubbers that it was .
Sometimes we don't have choice .
