Hello,
iv recently hit a pothole and mangled my front lower strut brace. ordered a new one form the dealers,
when it came to fitment, i had an attempt myself but i couldnt get it off because the back of the bolt keeps spinning when i try to take it off...and it looks like its inside the subframe?
is there something im missing? i spoke to a VAG specialist and they are adamant that my car doesnt come with a lower strut brace...so took it to a local garage and they are saying i might have to take my wishbone off and even then,might still not be able to get at it. he offered to heat it up and try to reshape it, as nice as that sounds, i said i'l just leave it.
so basically i want to take the old strut brace off, and get the new one on...
any ideas guys?
