I’m in the process of a suspension redo. I've bought Lemforder Passat B6 alloy front control arms. Many posts on here say they are a straight bolt on replacement but I went to put one earlier and one of the smaller subframe bolt holes seemed to be about 5mm out of line.

The bigger and other smaller holes lined up fine, the other one seemed to be about half way across the hole in the control arm. Is there a difference in the passat arms? Do I now have an excuse to get an anti lift kit in the black friday sales?
Ta!

The arms with different ball joints that suit the Golf or TT fit I believe, but the console mounts are not the same.
People and myself included use the solid S3 bushes into the original alloy housings

Lovely, thanks! ordered a couple bushes to go in my old housings, much cheaper and probably way less harsh than an anti lift kit!
