Title: coilover problem
Post by: ReadieeVTS on 18 October 2011, 19:26
hey guys i put some JOM coilovers on my 1.8t saturday and since yesterday evening ive been getting a rubbing sound, ive taken a quick look and it seems to be the driveshaft rubbing on the ARB on  o/s, how do i overcome this? I was thinking of getting some adjustable droplinks but ive heard good and bad points about them, the only other option is to remove the ARB completely but i dont want it to interfere with the handling...

what are your suggestions?

Cheers Lee

adjustable droplinks will still rub u want to get a mk1 audi tt arb which u can use on standerd droplinks as it goes under the drive shaft rather than the standerd going over

Thats what i heard about the droplinks so i wasnt too sure about them, does the tt ARB need any form of fabrication to fit?
