      Good plan.

        The steering gear is getting a good clean.

          I got to test out my wheel bearing removal tool in anger. They all came out ok but one needed a soak overnight in Newsh’s special formula.

          The front shocks came out no problem and look very new.


          The rear ones were much more difficult and look like originals. One appears dead so I’m on the look out for a pair if anyone has some for sale.



          I am gathering stuff together for blasting and powder coating.

            I gave the hubs a good clean.

            The front ball joints are also in soak. I was going to get new ones until I saw the price!
            They are actually very good with no play. I have just ordered new rubbers and will re grease them. The rear ones were not so good but they seem much cheaper and widely available.
            Off to the powder coat man with this lot tomorrow.

              New bits are arriving.

              I could not find pipe rubbers for the Ur. Thanks to Colesy, I got some from Audi Tradition for the A8. A small trim and they work well.

                Are you going to weld the seams on the new wishbones

                  I wasn't planning on doing that. These are the heavy duty ones and they are much more substantial than the rusty ones that were on the car.

                      Assuming they’re the ones you have to set before you put them on the car, and you adjust by pushing the rod all the way downwind turning it.. ( very annoying, it used to be possible to buy “top adjustable“ versions)

                      On the S2 this works quite well.
                      Front - 1 turn clockwise from full soft
                      Rear - half a turn clockwise from full soft

                        I've hit my monthly limit for photo uploads. There is a pic on the Classic Audi site. The rubber pipe holders that the fuel lines sit in under the car. They were in a very poor condition. The stainless clips are good.

                              I did hear that but I would have to get them blasted and coated which would add to the expense and the bushes wouldn't like it. For what I want, they will be fine.
