Does ANYONE have a working spare arm in their garage somewhere? |
Is that a front or a rear arm that we're talking about? What is the part number please?
Front arms have had 2 varieties:
1. 4D0 941 299 -- for cars with alu uprights & narrow tapers in lower suspension arms. These suspension arms have had a special 'seat' for the steel belt that goes with the plastic arm
2. 4D0 941 299 A -- for cars with cast iron uprights & wide tapers in lower suspension arms. These suspension arms haven't had a special 'seat' for the steel belt that goes with the plastic arm. So the plastic arm was different, probably with a different 'belt' system.
I've migrated to cast iron uprights and my plastic arm is still the one for alu uprights car. So if I can source new part 4D0 941 299 A (subject to availability) I can then release my 4D0 941 299 to you.
Just in case the discussion here is about the **front** arm.
