S3 hubs - help and advice needed please folks.

<< < (3/4) > >>

Hedge:
I think I'm good Bruce. The S3 arms I have come with nut.

Oh and http://www.linguee.com/german-english/translation/bundmutter.html

the bruce:
Ok - so 'collar nut' or 'flange nut'.  :happy2:

The stock GTI hub just uses a 'normal' nut for fixing the track rod end / tie rod end
which may not be used with the S3 alloy hub.

I'm telling this so insistently because I did this mistake on my self and I want to
prevent somebody else to have an accident. I fear there might be some guys out
there who have done the S3 mods as well and still have the old nuts.

 :scared:

mortygttdi:
I ended up changing the lot, S3 hubs, arms, ball joints and track rod ends all now from the S3, I still have a slight knock from the front drivers I think? but only now and again not all the time and its not on a full lock or bump type of thing it just does it then nothing???

Hedge:
I will be less than thrilled if my 5 week old car starts banging because of changing to S3 hubs and arms.  :sad1:

mortygttdi:
To be honest I still think its the junk drop links from FK that are knocking :scared: and nothing to do with the hubs or anything.
