_Meth 0 Posted August 23, 2011 My steering knuckle (as I call it) is now so worn that the wishbone ball joint just drops out the bottom, so I need to replace it. VW want £200 and GSF etc dont supply it. Scanning the world of eBay there is a set of MK2 golf 16v hub carriers : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-golf-mk2-16v-hubs-/260836711203?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cbb145b23 Would these fit my early 16v? They look similar but I cant be sure - dont mind paying out for a decent set that WILL fit, but dont want to waste good money on something that wont work :( Thanks in advance!

andycowuk 0 Posted August 23, 2011 How does that wear out? I'd expect all of the early 4-cyl corrado ones and mk2 16v golf ones to be the same... not sure if the late 4-cyl corrados got the mk3 suspension or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Meth 0 Posted August 23, 2011 incorrect pinch bolt fitted by previous owner and not spotted by me :( Caused the ball joint to be able to move a small amount inside the carrier and over time has worn it away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
