Hi guys,
Looking for some advise.....
2010 TDI Wagon Manual w/ 200K KM.
One of my front coil springs has broken (presumably from a seized strut bearing).
I am planning to replace the bearings/mounts on both sides and will prob do the spring and strut on both sides - due to there being a complete unit available for a reasonable price.
I am thinking of replacing the control arm bushings and ball joints as well because the cost isn't great, I will have it mostly apart already, and will need an alignment regardless.
Are there any issues with control arm removal on a MANUAL car ? I know there are clearance issues with the bolts on DSG, but how about manual ?
Is there an opportunity here to use parts from say a GTI or TT to stiffen things up a bit ? I had done this on my MkIV, but I didn't know what was interchangeable on the MKV.
thanks for the input
