woodz77 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 right , my mate changed my pads the other day and said the lower arm is fooked on the drivers side . but it made no noise before he changed the pads. but now it bangs like hell etc . he reckons when it was jacked up its free'ed the arm to where it should be and the rubber must have been wegde thats why it mad no noise . so i rung up a garage the other day and they said £150 all in . i nearly fell over . they reckon the arm is £75 + vat ??i havent had a chance to ring car euro parts etc to get a price but i looked on ebay and they had one thats £40+del which says it fits VR6 and 16 gti but wont fit 8v and below . so i thought it must be uprated for the more powerful cars ??????then i just looked and there is a lower arm/wishbone and its only £24.99 ?? but says it fits VR6 , 16v and 8v ????can any one shed some light on to where i should be looking and are all golf arms the same etc ??cheers Kris !!!!!!

VagSlag 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 dude the arms only fit the vr DONT buy arms for any other model golf (that includes the gti), they are shorter and you will have problems with alignment. iirc £70 sounds about right. Link to post Share on other sites
