Front engine subframe bush tool for VAG models with an aluminium front subframe, made for removing and fitting bushes without stripping the vehicle down more than necessary. It matters when the job needs doing properly but you want to avoid taking off suspension legs, subframes, wishbones or trailing arms just to reach the bush.

It’s the sort of tool used by garages and experienced home mechanics working on Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW vehicles in the listed ranges. Handy when doing bush replacement on the car, especially where time and access are both an issue. It can also be used in a workshop press if the job calls for it.

Part of a vehicle-specific range, so it’s intended for the correct VAG applications rather than general use. Using it in-situ helps keep the work more straightforward, and in many cases cuts down the amount of dismantling involved.
