Product Description
This 016 shifter bushing became NLA from Audi, part # 431 711 221, we have had them made in a high quality, high performance polyurethane part to replace this all too common worn out bushing on all 016 shifter linkages. Made from high durometer polyurethane, this part is not only long lasting and more reliable than the original, it is stiffer and further reduces slop and deflection over the OEM piece. This part is perfect for simply OEM replacement as well as high performance racing and sport use as well.
NOTE: This bushing is made to meet or exceed OEM quality, strength and durability, however this bushing cannot in of itself fix all the other bushings and linkage related issues with the 016 shifter assembly. Many of these parts are no longer available. If other bushings and linkages are moving in a non-linear fashion outside of their range, then this bushing will be subject for forces and binding it was not designed for. We include this note to highlight this is not a problem with this bushing, and when the linkage is repaired and refurbished as intended, this bushing will last a very long time and do what it's supposed to. Please be sure to take the quality and condition of other bushings into account when rebuilding your shifter linkage assembly.
