Participantnew MC is now installed
noticed when i was bleeding the brakes, that the left rear abs ring is pretty muched f|_|cked. so, thats why i have been having some strange noises from rear. the abs ring catches the bearing housing. well, going to remove the driveshaft. and clean it up. and remove the abs ring
as its no longer neededthe torque i’m using when putting the center nut back, is that the same as on the front? 265nm?

Participantwell, i knew i’d get more negative camber in the rear when lowering, but damn. some agressive camber going on here
June 19, 2010 at 11:02 pm #7438Chris S
ModeratorThats why you need the camber adjusters
June 19, 2010 at 11:05 pm #7439Housey
Participanthow can you adjust camber on the syncro? i know you can adjust the toe in using those Ushaped plates and exentric bolts. but the camber? how?
tell meJune 20, 2010 at 3:51 pm #7441Chris S
ModeratorExactly the same way but with vertically instead of horizontally mounted plates

Participantokai. this will be done with my new rear subframe

anyhow. my left rear brake cylinder let go today. and instead of buying a new one, i’m converting it to discbrakes a little sooner then i wanted to
have only a few parts, and need to source the others real fast
what i need is
both rear calipers
discs
both wheelbearings (i mesured the inner race to be 39mm)
e-brake cables (from where? isnt these dropped?)
hard brake pipes
rubber brake linesthe carriers is about all i’ve got for this

oh well, time to search some ebay i guess. the rear calipers are the same as the fwd ones? its just the carriers that is different?

ModeratorNo, your best bet is Golf 4 aluminium calipers (rears) like these
cables here

re cables
The Golf 3 Syncro drum & disc brake cables are 1592mm, 12mm or 1/2 an inch longer than the original ones,
I think that these may be the ones to go for,
p/n 1H0 609 721B for drum brakes
or
p/n 1H0 609 721C for disc brakesJune 21, 2010 at 2:37 pm #7448Housey
