Inner Front Controll arm bush problem, confused!

[J Eyo]

Guys,

I bought the white line bushes, Inner Front Controll arm, w52091 is the code, says it fits the s3 8l mk1, which mine is, but mines a 2003 BAM. Were the A arms different? It seems most companies look like the black white lines ones in size, problem is, my bushes are huge compared to these ones, even what looks like the oem when i google it is tiny compared to what i needed. A photo of what I bought, black, vs what fits, red

There is two sizes, 45 and 30mm.
Early S3s and TTs had the 30mm bushes, these are generally 99 and early 00 year cars although tye exact date/age is unknown. Later cars like yours have the larger bush.
Audi did this as part of a redesign of the Audi TT and S3 following reports of dodgy handling.
