drive shaft ******....

[j4g3d]

right i slammed my coilovered to the ground when i fitted them but got scrubbage as i was driving where the wheels were touching the plastic arch liner.. so i highered it so that theres no rubbing. but ever since ive done that ive got rubbing when i turnt corners.

I thought this was ok but i noticed the noise was louder when i turnt a certain way.

So today i checked behindthe wheel quickly and to my horror my driver side drive shaft has a HUGEEE groove in it all the way around so its about 10mm thinner where the bar(forgot the name of it) is directly above the dirve shaft was rubbing/grinding onto it(im guessing)

So do i need to higher this more? or is this another problem causing this? ive never read on the forums this problem due to lowering it so far down???? how much is a new drive shaft?

So what you are trying to say is the driveshafts is catching onto the Anti Roll bar, and worn it away correct?

YOu need to change the anti roll bar i think

 

[j4g3d]

yes anti roll bar is catching. why is this? am i too low?

 

[Randomjim]

I've heard that on the a3 and golf mk4 you have to change the arb if you want to go really low. 60mm plus i think.

 

[jojo]

No, you need to change the droplinks to the ARB'S to clear the driveshafts if you go too low, think you need the Golf R32 items IIRC.

I was close lol

 

[j4g3d]

what arbs do i need? r32? what are they plastic?

 

[Randomjim]

from the r32 golf

 

[j4g3d]

ok... just the link yeah?(plastic looking bit)? not the whole arb??

 

[Randomjim]

Both would be best
