chicofrostie 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I need a new rear beam, I bought one from a scrapyard the other day only to find out it didn't have an anti roll bar in it (i'm stupid i didn't check i know). Is it just Gti's and VR's that have anti roll bars in the beam??Thanks in advance peeps !shy Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 the vr6 will have a bigger anti roll bar than gti i think? Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 if you already have a rear beam just use the one from that, otherwise a set of eibach arb are good value and will help even an unlowered vr6 to feel more potent on the road. Link to post Share on other sites
chicofrostie 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks for the replies!The guy that was gonna fit the beam said there was no way he could get the existing one out of the VR beam and into the replacement. Would the fitting the eibach stuff be a better option than sourcing another (VR) beam?? Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 the arb should come out, he will just have to install new bushes. why exactly do you need a new beam? Link to post Share on other sites
chicofrostie 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I bought an accident damaged car off a guy on here back in may - the offside rear wheel was at a slightly funny angle, at first i thought it was just the stub axle but when I changed it, nothing happened. The body shop have done all the appropriate measurements and deduced that its the beam. Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 ahhh, anyway the arb is replaceable, and only requires the bushes to be pressed in with a bush vice. other than that any decent mechanic should be able to manage. im having mine swapped at the moment.

richievr 1 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 both the vr and gti have the same rear roll bar . . .IF you were to get from vw (my work) the beam comes with the roll bar on . . .vw cannot supply the anti roll bar separately . . . Link to post Share on other sites
