Possibly, got a feeling they are cast iron like the GTI. 

I'm in desperate need of changing the nearside though, check this out :surprised:

I took Balljoints from an A3 Quattro and put them onto GTI arms on my old TDI so I can only assume so.....

Cheers Jay, that's good to know... pretty sure they will fit, they look identical (lol).  Of course it's only when you buy them that someone posts that they won't. :jumpmove:
