Steering arms

[tez]

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

[dub-disaster]

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.

I got one from euro car parts about a month ago, was £30 ishh,  looked pretty good quality aswell!

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.

Deleted post* i should learn to read properly!

he's talking about steering arms not TCAs

[SuperMario]

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 !

Replace the rubber boot, job done!

[grungeisdead]

has anyone had success in changing the boots? if so where are you getting them from?

[PeteG40]

i can do them - its not easy - look on ebay for track rod boots
