Hello Alex.
One question about the TT hub: is the ball joint mounting point lower on the TT hub? Or is the GTI ball joint mounting point lower than the TT one?
From you picture I could only tell that the steering mounting point is lower on the TT, but not much else.
Thanks! :drinking:

As the ball bearings is lined up it easy to see the balljoint point is much lower on the TT hubs Rex :wink:
Don't go near the keyboard on a friday night when there's alcohol on the table :P :booty: :grin:

Now, that I took a closer look, I saw that the GTI hub had the ball joint attached. It is the same color as the hub so it was quite well camouflaged and I thought the lower part of the ball joint was in fact the part where the ball joint will be attached.
So, it is clear that the ball join mounting point is lower on the TT hub which translates in a higher center of roll which improves handling. I will have to buy some of these also :happy2:.

I've been thinking about what to do next apart from fitting the R8 calipers when the 18's go back on.
And I'm going to try and fit equal length drive shafts using a half shaft. I know of another car the the vag range that has this as standard and I already have a spare shorter shaft. All I don't know is whether the block has the same mounting points and how the half shaft fits to the gearbox.

Alex should you stumble upon a set of TT driveshaft please think of me will you?? :drinking:
The equal length driveshaft must include an extra link and mounting to accomondate the fixing of that link right?? :smiley:
