So had to just change the wishbones over in the end.
Apparently this is bad or something:
That's exactly how it came out. Will only use genuine parts if they aren't being upgraded from now on.
Polybushes, can't comment on the drive that much as the tracking needs doing badly. Also have GTI wheels with 205/45's on. Will be dropping down to 195 or maybe 185 I think though when the tyres wear out.
The front handling has improved drasticly though. No more understeer everywhere. Due to the tracking it does feel odd side to side as it turns in stupidly sharp left but not right.
Holds on like hell round roundabouts and just drags the back round if it slides. Gotta sort the rear axle bushes and put the GTI rear brakes on.
GTI brakes aren't that much of an improvement tbf. I have done literally 4 miles. They do bite and they are in all fairness miles better then the tiny brakes on it before but they still just aren't very sharp.
Seriously going to be looking into a Caddy servo and master cylinder as they look the same and they have a proper feel to the brakes.
Also I broke the sump.
Ruined my paint job.
So drilled it out:
Tapped it:
Bolt with an oil seal:
Jobs a goodun. Haven't replaced the sump due to changing the engine soon so not that fussed.
