Steering arms

Does anyone know where I can get an offside G40 steering arm from? Mine's got a knackered bush somehow, and I can't find them for sale anywhere.
Cheers

they are obsolete so VW hertiage might be your best (only?) bet

Think these went obsolete a while ago now dont know of any rose jointed replacements but the rubber bushed non g40 arms are readily availible from gsf/euro car parts.

Is there no after market replacement / refurb kit?
I remember this going on my old G40 about 4 years ago, the part was put on back order and was about £70 when it finally arrived IIRC.

that wont be a proper g40 one with a rose bush though I don't think. I don't think ECP or GSF have ever done them.

The one i took off wasnt rose jointed, so must of been replaced before! the rubber was pretty sturdy, i think its good for the job! i only had to change it as the balljoint boot was split, the other end seemd fine !
