Broken ARB Link

Recommended Posts

This has snapped, are they available seperatley or is it a new ARB? Hit a loose man hole cover :(

 

Also wondered what else to change at the same time while im there so far I have:

 

288MM Brake conversion to be fitted

Top mounts

2 x new wishbones

New ARB Link/ARB

Both O/S CV Gaitors

 

Any other fairly cheap and easy bits I should get out the way? Cars a 94 vr6 with 111,000 miles.

 

Thanks

Gav,

 

available on their own and cheap (get VAG) ... snapped both of mine doing the wishbones a while ago! (but air-wrenches are fun!)

Right ordered the gaitors, top mounts and o/s ARB link from VW.

 

Wishbones can wait at £85 a side - will do them when I get some coilies!

 

Chucked a foliage cover gasket in there too to sort the wet footwell!

I was quoted 85 quid plus discount from the stealers for my VR a couple of months ago, unfortunately they don't do the bushes seperatly anymore, it's the whole arm only.

So that can wait till I do my coilies!

No they aren't.

 

Only the VR has the wider track on it.

Don't bother getting new wishbones, just get new bushes and get them pressed in unless the wishbones are rusted to buggery!

 

Upgrade to TT/R32 rear bushes while you have a good chance to!
