Hi guys

Needing help please as I can't get hold of anyone at VW that can help as they seem too busy.

I just had my rear suspension arms changed on my 11 plate VW golf (wvwzzz1kz) and the car wheels needs to be realigned, but when I took it to the local realignment place they told me that I needed new bolts as it keeps slipping.

Can someone tell me exacting what those bolt kits are called or even better the part numbers? I'm getting close to the end of this epic saga which I wish I never started..

I've found this:
and this:

but I'm not sure which one if either are correct.

Thanks in advance...

thanks... the guy who tired to true the wheels said that the bolts was just slipping off the tabs and that I need new bolts.. the subframe should be fine as the tabs look universal and not damaged. One of the bolts were seized up, they had to work on one for about an hour with a torch, hammer and all sorts before it would come out but the other came out normally.

I've ordered the lower set now, it should be here in a week and I can get them fitted at the weekend.

you mean the garage that changed the arms had issue getting bolt out ? (not the garage doing the adjustment)
wouldn't the original garage have changed the bolts/washer, too, if they were corroded and the bolt slipped in the end washer ?

which (as said) might then suggest the tabs have some wear so are not supporting eccentric bolt. head

The garage had an issue getting one of the bolts out, it was my mates garage as no one local to me wanted to touch it on a fixed price. So I took it to my mates, who owns the garage but didn't to work himself.

They wanted to change the bolts, washer and nut but it was getting late in the day and didn't think they could get them from VW (if they had them in stock), on time for me to get back home.
They didn't have a four wheel alignment computer to use at the garage and tried to alight it up as it was orginally set.

Three different mechanics had looked at it.. the one that changed the suspension arms, the one that did it's mot and service and the one that tired to align the wheels.. they are all suggesting it's the bolt.. so fingers crossed..
 
the bolts are on the way, I sent the photos to the seller as VW has still not got back in contact. Hopefully they come this week and it can be done this Saturday...

I think this is the last attempt, if it still pear then it a case of getting another car.
 
Car's fixed... I manage to get the bolts on the Friday and put it in the garage yesterday for the bolts to be installed and retracked.

Just need to remember to re-book it in a few weeks for them to recheck the tracking after it's beded in.
