Front axle U bolts

StuntmanAd · Nov 28, 2010

When under my S3 today changing the front diff I noticed I've got a broken U bolt. It's the inner one on the drivers side. Had a look on Paddocks and it seems that theres 2 different types. Curved and Flat ones. Apparantly 3 of the U bolts for the front axle are curved and one is flat. Which is the one I've broken? It's to cold to go look now

Thanks, Ad

I think it's the flat one but it's too cold to go out and look.

Buy both and keep some in stock. I broke one and was driving around for 3 days with my leaf half hanging off before i noticed. Then had to drive it like that to Paddocks to get a spare (other car was off the road at the time)

They are dirt cheap.

Thats what I done today, bought both

Pretty sure its the flat one that I've broken as its the closest to the diff where the axles a little squarer
