[20Vmartin]

Powerflex don't do 19mm for the octavia only 21mm and 23mm.

But they list a 19mm one for the TT so that may fit,but i would check first.

What was the part no. they gave you?

[David 8]

It's a 19mm bar as said and as said powerflex don't do them, the superpro ones are better then the standard jobbies and use the original mounts. They will last much longer than the standard items............I hope :rofl:

Hi

No I doubt it

I would say get the wheel balancing checked over first

You may have lost a weight on there

It would be my first job done to get it sorted

Good luck and let us know how you got on

Mmmm

Right , well that makes things different....

Check and make sure all wheels are tight , they can come loose after they have been on for a while

Try also swapping wheels about , checking visually as your going

When car is jacked up , make sure there is no movement in the wheel bearings too
