purple highline monster 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 on my rallye i had 4 wheel alignment at vw! except there is no real way of aligning the rear wheels!! like most cars it just goes within a tolerance, if you start unbolting the ream beam etc it goes mad!! one of my best mates is a vw tech so i didnt pay the horendous vw price for it! from memorey though i am sure the rear bearings are as vr they are pressed in disc centre, i had vented discs on the rear of mine and i am sure i done the bearings too? i will confirm it with my mate but i am poss they are the same, dont forget the rear end drive train of a rallye is basicly the old front of a mk1 GTi cv and all that are same as mk1 parts!

RIX 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 then the mrk. 3 syncro is ¨diffrent cause.it dosnt looklikemrk.1 at all,if your smart and unbolt correctly you dont need 4 wheel aligment,i did it on my previus car audi s2 avant,dead easy,the golf is the same prinsippul.so dub singh changing the drive shafts are a piece of cake when your doing the bearings.
