There are two types of lower front arms on most Audis - large pin on B5 and C5 / D2 with steel hubs, small pin on B6 and C5 / D2 with alloy hubs. There is a 3rd type which is unique to the 20" D2. Almost all the D2 Meyle kits I found on ebay were the large pin versions, but in fact its exactly the same price to buy all the arms separately as it is to buy a kit so simple enough to just change what's needed
I haven't had a chance to run these in to the garage to change yet - looks like I might have the wrong arms then

I was aware that the arms are different on factory equipped 8's with 20" wheels, but had no idea about steel/alloy hubs difference.


Will they still fit my car or will I need to change these parts?
