Albert this question came up on the AudiWorld Forum..

In simple terms it asks questions I never thought of.

[flappie1883]

I only have a typ43 200 5t body in really bad condition....planning on doing a quattro conversion since it requires a body off resauration.
Still working out the details....witch bottom end I'm gonna use (uri or 200 typ44)
Of course you're wishbones got me thinking....

[Albert]

will fit Audi Coupe Quattro. Is there a mounting or other difference with urquattro ?

Let me know exactly what car you have and I will check.

[flappie1883]

Then comes the next question,

You're wishbone also fits the urquattro as well? Would it also be possible to use them on a 200 5T?

[Albert]

I don't know.... it would make a logical explanation about the price difference. Only thing I could read was that one type fits the original rose joint and for the other you'll be needing the original Sport Quattro rose joint and have to do some bodymodification.

For me the other control arm for OEM joint is misunderstanding of the idea of the sport control arm. One of the most important benefits is the possibility of seting up a negative camber adjustment of front and rear wheels.

With my setup there is no need in modifying anything in the cars suspension. There will be an special extension form the uniball to the stock mcperson column.

As for the ex many, not only the look but the idea of the wastegate running only on one runner ! That is the most stupid idea I have seen.

I agree, that manifold doesn't look nice and effective.

[Albert]

and I don't like the look of this ex many form the same company.

[Albert]

No offense, but why are youre wishbones almost twice the price from the ones that are already on the market?

Are they that much better?

Do they come with the Rose joints also ? almost half the price is them.

How well will the rose joint stand up to long term use in adverse weather conditions and normal day to day use? Here in the USA we use salt or sand or a mix of both to clear ice & snow off our roads. Will the rose joints last? No dis-respect Albert but gotta ask.

The rose joint is made out of the same material that original part was made. The bearing is hevy duty sport bearing. All of the parts are made with best poible materials.

Should last very long, it was made for heavy duty use in rally environment.

The only thing I would be concerned is the bearing it self. I don't think anything can happend to the rose joint. It there is any problem with the bearing you can easily replace it on your own.

Rose joint is made form PA12 this is the same material that parts for ships and other heavy duty equipment.

[edit] Just found out that the rose joint is made with PA-12 not PA-11. PA-12 is stronger that PA-11. Edited previous post.

Nice Albert...but one very important question that nobody has asked...

How well will the rose joint stand up to long term use in adverse weather conditions and normal day to day use? Here in the USA we use salt or sand or a mix of both to clear ice & snow off our roads. Will the rose joints last? No dis-respect Albert but gotta ask.

> Rose joint? Albert what rose joint are you using in yours?

I will be providing rose joint with the set. I hope the rose joint is what I have circulated on the picture with red colour.

As for the other part of the question "This product is legal for racing vehicles only and should never be used on public highways."

[panzerwagen]

Rose joint? Albert what rose joint are you using in yours?

I'm sure others would like to know where to source such an item and what is adequate for just street use? Thanks!

[Albert]

What is PA-11? Are those the alloy rose joint holders? Just wondering if that is included in the price?

Thank you!
Martin

Yes, PA-12 is the material used to make that part, that is the alloy rose holder. Yes, it is will be included in the price.
