This sunny afternoon I removed the rear subframe from my cq20v in preparation for it going off for galvanising. I even had a spare rear subframe off a 10v quattro to go back on and keep me on the road.
I knew there would be no rear anti roll bar mounts in the 10v but could live with that for a couple of months, i wasn't expecting the rear tie rod mounts to be in a different position.
It seems they are 20mm further out each side than the 20v set up. There isnt 20mm of adjustment in my tie rods in order to shorten them by 20mm each so hence my quest for info on tie rods lengths...
My car has the 'bent' rear rods but I know there is a straight version out there which may be.more for b2 than b3 (not sure) however, the straight rods look longer which is the opposite of what I need.
I would happily fit a different rear tie rod and put the 10v subframe back on for a couple of months but I don't seem to be able to find info on which one to look at.
My o/s/r rod has maybe 15mm of adjustment left and n/s/r in the order of 5-7mm. Way too little, there would be an awful lot of toe in happening.
Ideas?
