steering arm rebuild guide

[Dobby84]

Is there any rebuild guide out there for the steering arms off my coupe?
I have ordered new track rod ends, but need the inner bushes, adjusters and any other parts.
If someone has part numbers that would be great.

Inner bushes are not available separately.
Adjusters you can buy the Quinton Hazel parts.
Kev (Bambridge) did use to do Delrin inner bushes and adjusters with a larger hex although I think he has stopped doing them now.

[Dobby84]

So if the inner bushes are shot then I will have to but complete arms?
Rubbish!
Ill see if Bambridge has anything left.

[Error404]

as yours is a track car you could make some up easily using rose joints

[Dobby84]

Possibly an option, never ventured down that path before so a little research may be needed.

I doubt it but was trawling eBay and saw these,
What it the chance that they may fit?

Golf bushes?

Our catalogs say they come from brazilian VW Gol. A strange compact car with longitudal 4-cyl engine and fwd. It probably inherits some technical stuff from audi 80.

If you google this partnumber you will likely find lots of audi 80 steering arms photos from ex-USSR auto internets.

[Dobby84]

Are these assemblies found on any other Audi variant?
I've asked a few companies that stock complete arms (link above) if they are suitable or can be used but they either don't know or say they don't but they are basing this on my reg number.

[Dobby84]

Would really like the part numbers for these parts, I know I'm probably wrong but can see why the arms on a V6 coupe would be different to the S2 coupe.

Here is one listed for an S2

Cheers Andy, I saw that last night too, emailed them to see if they have the left hand side too.

Just an update, I have bought inner bushes and adjusters from bambridge so just need to get rid ends. Does anyone have recommendations or are gsf/Euro ones okay?

Also, any tips for removing the old bushes and replacing with the new ones?

Use Lemforder as they supplied the originals, they are £11.19 each from CP4L with free delivery, may be cheaper elsewhere ? Link is for 2.8 part but all B3/b4 rod ends are the same.
