    Can someone tell me what this bolt is for

    Can someone tell me what this bolt is for

    The one on the right hand side that bolts into the end of the steering arm casting on the hub? It sits halfway out as though its adjustment for something, and has a nut on the other side that also retains the disc mud guard. Cant see what it adjusts, or even does apart from hold the mud...

    Swivel ball kits

    Is there anything I can do to my current pitted ones. Perhaps get them chromed or something? Or would that affect the seal as I'd effectively be changing the dimension of the ball slightlyddue to making the surface thicker

    Swivel ball kits

    OK thanks so that's a 9mm seal so I guess that answers that part, I ideally need the whole kit, seals/bearings/swivel ball/gaskets etc, which I have seen advertised at a few places, I'm guessing any 9mm seal kit will do then..

    Swivel ball kits

    Hi, I need to renew both swivel balls. However the seem to be either a 9mm seal or a 12.5 mm seal. Any clues what I'd need for a 98 300tdi? Also is there any bad stories about the britpart Teflon coated swivel balls?
