Lower arm problem

[ArosaRacer]

Does anyone Know if a polo mk3 lower arm is different to a Mk1 arosa, reason im asking is i think my wheel camber issues is to do with the lower arm i fitted to the car

yeah, I think it's not the same length, pretty sure I checked that out for Ian

if you could find out m0rk it would be a great help, ive checked everything else, happening is the hub is cambering about 10 degrees positive camber, so when i fit the wheel its looks a little better than when the lower arm snapped

I think you have the Mk's wrong on the Polo

Arosa shares with 00> Polo

Mk3 Polo looks like this - http://www.eee.bham.ac.uk/wear-it/James/polo/lower.jpg

The Arm is wrong, Early Arosa's were fitted with Mk3 polo were as the 98 ones were fitted with 6N2 chassis ones 57 pounds and i should be able to put the car on wheels ready to for coilover setup

I've got a pair of lower wishbones if your interested

 

[ArosaRacer]

depends if they are for a late arosa or lupo, ive some on order with TPS to arrive on friday

New or second hand Grotmeister?

I want to fit new wishbones to mine, but I have powerflex bushes to go in so have no need of ones with the bushes already fitted....can't find any that come without them though.

Nick make sure you check which ones you need, if its the early arosa ones ive one you can have band new for the o/s

Mine was registered in 98, so I would assume that means he needs Mk4 polo ones....he's on the borderline though, is there an easy way to check which one it is?

ring Seat and ask them, they can tell when car was built

Damn, I was hoping I could just look at something - they'll try and sell me things if I call them
