to resurrect the thread, if anyone needs to change the upper wishbone on the rear (what I would call a camber arm as it has deals with the camber adjustment) the part number is 8E0505323 (lh) and 8E0505324 (rh)
well I completed one of the wishbones today and I don't recommend it unless you have the patience of a saint, rear subframe needs dropped to allow access to remove the front most bolt, coil spring compressor is a must too, discovered that the shock has seen better days, corroded at the top and...
yeah, the issue is that one of the bushes is extremely perished, when I was changing the dif oil seals I noticed that the metal core had completely parted company with the rubber, so for the effort involved to remove the large wish bone its worth replacing all 4 bushes, I will do the camber arm...
I've polybushed before and yes its labour intensive, If I was going to polybush the rear I would do it myself, I have all the equipment and access to a lift, its the price of the bushes that are prohibitively expensive, have a look at the link I posted earlier...

I found this site: https://www.akmotorsport.net/shop/all-parts/bushings/full-rear-suspension-wishbone-polyurethane-kit-audi-b6-b7/
but its a hell of a lot of cash for bushes and I would only consider spending this much if I had a damn good reason for stripping the **** end ie sandblasting and...
If anyne is interested, these seem to be the correct bushes, I have ordered a set and will update this post to confirm correct fitment
