subframe movment

[foxymk1]

hi guys, i have a 2006 140 quattro SB and it pulls all over the road ! to the right on power and back to the left when you let off,
so iv ordered powerflex wishbone bushs and booked in for 4 wheel alignment once fitted,
but iv also been told that the mk5 platform range suffer from subframe movement whitch is curable with a kit from VW, so went to the stealers and there on back order 2 wks!! is this a problem any of you guys have come across before?

thnx foxy

I haven't heard of the subframe problem before

Get the wheel alignment done first as it is most likely the cause

the kit is only £10 from VW so no real cost, here is a vid of the kit being fitted

Yes! In theory, those bolts cannot be reused. You need to use new ones or the subframe my start moving. You'll hear popping noises when accelerating, when braking, when turning when... Very annoying!
