TCA's

[Jezza-7]

Where is the best place to get them?

[cheys03]

G40 ones I'm not sure about.
Standard MK2, Mk3 (&Mk1?) eBay is currently the best, places selling NOS. I got a pair a month ago for £38inc postage which is the best I could find at the time. GSF wanted £27ea!

[Jezza-7]

Were they from ebay?

I was looking at the ones from g ladersite for €200.

you cant buy new G40 tca's anymore, vw are obsolete, so unless someone has a pair or one tucked away (i bought one brand new one off a friend, and am trying to get another)

G ladersiete are the only option at the moment, but they arent OEM, might be worth speaking to PPP, to see what discount they can offer? maybe a group buy?

[Jezza-7]

Was gonna get something like these

thats not a g40 one though, rubber bushes.

I'd have thought a st'd one with some poly bushes would be good enough for most G40's?

The GLS ones offer minimal camber adjustment, also the bearings are a press in affair.

However if people want to organise a group buy, I'm happy to get prices and apply our trade discount with them for CG40 members.

Between Hayesey, Andy & myself, we've now done enough 'mule miles' to be confident in the PPP design ala:



These do give enough camber adjustment, but are designed with our stage 3 in mind, you really need this as the camber dialed in with a tca also alters castor angle.

I can ask about dates for these to be made if people are bothered?

[SamG40]

Are they actually obsolete now? They were supposed to be obsolete back in 2003 or whenever. I think different dealers said different things compared to each other even back then.

I've got two still with picking slips stuck on them at home, and no they are not for sale. 

[dub-disaster]

id take a pair of these do they come with bushes or will the original fitment poly bushes fit ?

[Jezza-7]

Yoof i would, as you can tell i need some.  

[GeirJB]

Oooh Yeah! I could be interested in this, with a stage 3 subframe package!! 

[Jezza-7]

are these correct for a g40?

Also what is the difference?

Well they'll fit but they are just the standard type TCA fitted with what appears to be poly bushes.
Proper G40 ones have rose joints in place of the bushes.

I tend to agree with this.
Phil J can supply decent poly bushes for the TCA's. Unlike the Powerflex/Superflex types they don't break up either.
Obviously if you can afford a full on subframe with rose jointed TCA's like Pete, Andy and Paul have then that is gonna be far better.
