Title: Bottom arm bolt guide
Post by: Mcwill on 12 October 2013, 20:40

Hi guys, replaced both bottom arms on golf over last couple of days and on removing the first one I dint realise there is a bolt guide thing? So bent it while removing the arm oops :whistle: so my question is do I need it and if so what is it called and where can I get one.


Thanks folks

It's a sleeve and will cost you around £1.50 from vw. I'd make sure it goes right in aswell with the arm straight because I ve had issues with the bolt going tight but it stil knocking cos the sleeve didn't go right in

Or just replace the rear bushes with TT/R32 items and you wont need the sleeve. they are a far superior bush to that of the mk2 item

This - all day long.  Delivers significantly improved front end pointiness.
