driver side ARB scraping on driveshaft, AFTER adjustable anti drop links are on!

[Dommy GTi]

How would i do that? has noone here done this on a golf mk4? because I can't seem to find any answers, only 3 pages of the same questions asked with very few answers which is not what im looking for, I might just raise it a tad and add some spacers all over so it dont look as bad?

You could always get the fk arb that goes over the drive shafts but as bigger hoops so it will clear easy

You have got the drop links adjusted correctly haven't you? They need to be shorter than standard

Any arb that goes under the driveshaft is the only sure fire way to solve the problem, I fitted an S3 one to mine. Other options are:

Seat Leon Cupra R
Golf R32
MK1 Audi TT
4Motion Golf

that's very helpful dom cheers mate, so would I only need lets say just the golf 4 motion ARB? or would I need any other bits bro?

Mate there's loads of threads on this and a good few 'how 2's' Look on ukmkivs and vw vortex, I saw one on there last week with pictures, showing how to fit a ARB that goes below the shafts and fitting it up to the standard drop links. buy the one you linked to and stick it in. The reason I said about the size of the bush is because they range from 19mm to 23mm.

Thats fair mate, Only problem is im a newbie when it comes to advanced suspension, I only know basics like coilovers, lowering springs, etc, So bush sizes and ARB are literally, by this week new to me haha

I'll have a look to see if I can get the link.

Here have a look over these two links. Will give you a better idea.

the adjustable drop links need to be cut down an inch to get them to work, or at least thats been the case with all the ones i've fitted. they simply dont adjust short enough to pull the arb away from the drive shaft

[Dommy GTi]

Exactly my point mate ^ it rubs even when its shorter than short! it rubs less with the standard drop links on! What did you do to clear that issue?
