I have used kits labelled as B6/7 and have compared and they are the same.

Anyone know why this one says it only fits B6 ? Is it because of the tie rod link ?

They’ll fit. Everything chassis/suspension is common across both platforms.

Not sure why it'd only be labelled only B6 (seen it before though with other retailers), probably just mistakes being made. As above, they will fit

The upper control arm bushings on the B7 are stiffer and the lower rear bushing was also changed. If I remember right the lower went from a silicone dampened bushing to a plain type.

Shape wise they are the same, I have done a bit of digging and figured only the lower curved is different and with what you said it make perfect sense. it is just the bushing and it won’t bother me, will go for it.

The upper ones are not the same shape, but measure exactly the same.
