Driveshafts got abs ring on it and on the hub there a holder for the abs sensor but looked at vtr and there different dont have the holes for abs sensor holder

106 gti or get another one off a vts, theres always a few being broken for parts on here. Once your post count gets up and been a member for a few weeks you can look in the for sale section iirc.

whats wrong with the current strut?

[tt_todd]

Got told needed a new ball joint got that changed cos that's what it failed on first time toke it back up he then said the hubs fucked and said I will need a hole strut cos the hub dont come off ????

[Gandi699]

the hub is part of the strut but why is it fucked?
Might be a loose wheel bearing or perhaps the balljoint hole has gone oval?

[tt_todd]

He never really explained what was wrong part from showing me the ball joint moment and said it will pop out soon

[Gandi699]

Sounds like the part of it where the taper and pinch bolt goes in has gone oval

[tt_todd]

So defo need new hub then if that's the problem ? Sorry if a sound stupid dont really have a clue what am doing with the mechanical side of things lol

[Gandi699]
