[urq] Re-use Subframe Bushings?

[laraa at sympatico.ca]

Chris,

I've just checked ETKA and your bushings are the same as the ones on my ex-urQ... No wonder why the price is still high 11 years later.

By the way, that 857 in the part number denotes exactly that : this part was developed for the urQ (type 85, with turbo ie "7"). 

857 199 419C (front of rear subframe)
857 199 415B (rear of rear subframe)
N 905 569 02 (bolts, if you choose to change them too)

So the bushings are the same for all small chassis cars from 1980 to 1991, you can read this post from MotorGeek where there is a solution for you at the bottom...

"Some time ago I installed Lemforder 617401335 (or SWAG 30750007) in the place of 857199419B" 

Now you need to find another post for the other part number... :-)

Objet : Re-use Subframe Bushings?

Hi there, The patient is a 1989 Audi 90 quattro.  I recently found a crack in the rear subframe that has been getting larger.  I got a replacement from Chris Semple but the bushings in it are shot.  Pricing at Jim Ellis Audi or ECS Tuning is crazy for one of the bushings (95.00) and it doesn't seem that any aftermarket rubber bushings are available anymore for this old and unique auto.  I believe the ones on my cracked subframe are in good shape.  Is it possible to remove them without destroying them?
Alternatively, does anyone have source for some reasonably-priced bushings? I've checked the usual  - ecstuning, partsgeek, autohausaz, etc.
Suggestions?
Thanks, Chris Perry
