I used a spring compressor & fitted them with the spring compressed, then I released the spring compressor & it jacked it up to what you see, needless to say I only drove round the block once before I replaced them with normal stuff.
On the left hand side of the diff there is an adjuster ring where the drive shaft goes in, so you can set the play in the internal diff bearings
Have a look here
ETKA – Gosy – 1990 – 5 – 25 – 106-40 part nr 11 adjuster ring – 13 locking ringThats a good question, they could be either 68 or 72mm, VW seem to have fitted whichever swing arm (& Bearing) that they had in their hand, I am afraid ETKA is no help here so you wont know till you take them apart, btw have you checked the (Adjustable) play in your diff bearings?
Hi Joe, I might be interested in the rear arms, where are they/you based? & how much would the postage be to the Netherlands?
My Partsman just emailed back & unfortunately there isn’t one left anywhere in the worldwide VW network
The 4 cylinder Golf 3 Syncro rear arms don’t have the caliper carrier mountings either (Drum only)
btw
Passat 35i rear arms are 357 505 347 Left & 348 Right, Golf 2 Syncro arms are 347A & 348A L&R both the G2S & Passat Syncro arms have the caliper carrier mountings but are not wide track.
