Suspension Arm Problems

Recommended Posts

Guest R3GG

Hi,

 

I've been having real problems installing a new suspension arm on the drivers side of the car (non gti). I've recently put new springs in and decided to change both arms at the same time because the ball joint covers were split.

 

I can get the bolt in up to the point where it has to come out the other side of the arm - at this point it gets stuck on the edge of the hole! The passenger side went in no problem, could this mean the anti roll bar is bent on the drivers side?

 

Here's the end I'm referimg to:

Any tips would be much appreciated!

Get a big adjustable spanner on the arm itself and just wiggle it about while pressing the bolt in.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that tomorrow morning if it's not all iced over!
