      Skull-There are different length ones, I got an URQ one and it was too short to fit my s2.

      The subframes have the mounts in different places.

      I have unseized them before by taking them of and putting them in a vice and using heat. Drop link boots fit the ball joint if it gets torn taking it off.

      The inner bolt can be a pain, soak it in penetrating fluid, and use a good allen key bit.

        I had them off the car, that was not a problem, but i would like to replace the ball joint and bush (or the whole tie rods).

        I think bambridge is making the delrin bushes for it, is it possible that a front tie rod ball joint would be a straight swap?

                  Yeah sorry, I didn't see this till you'd ordered. I've got one on ebay at £75.50 freepost but I'd take £65 'on forum'. I had to buy 7 to get the 4 we needed at a reasonable cost as the only others I could find were on ebay for £199 +p&p for 2!!

                    The arms arrived today. Jesus talk about overpriced for what they are. The equivalent track control on a4 would be 35 quid.
                    I guess they have you by the short and curlies. I lookforward to a properly aligned car though.
                    Obviously the previous garage lied about doing the 4 wheel alignment.

                      Iirc when the motor factors I use could still get them £35+vat is about what they were. They'll most likely have been first line, power train or similar though. I'm sure it was only 18 months since I asked them to check and they could get them then but not 2 months ago.
