S3 rack and cast wishbones with some extra bits too

Featured Replies

S3 Steering Rack + TT/S3/R32/LCR Tie Rods + Std vRS Subframe + S3 Brace Nuts + Nearly New TT Tie Rod Ends + Nearly New Bush think its Powerflex.

This is the 2.5 turn "Quick Rack" which makes the car feel more positive and adds more feel. Not suitable for cars with ESP as it buggers up the steering angle sensor iirc but will go on to any other mk4 golf platform car.

I was lead to believe it was fairly new when fitted to Amateurstuntmans/Westallc black vRS but cant say for sure. I know it is spot on tho with no play or knocks.

I am putting my std vRS subframe with it so it can be built up ready for a quick swap, Also the Tie rods, Boots and Tie Rod Ends are all the TT ones and are fatter threaded than the std Octavia stuff and also point up to go in to the Hub unlike the Octavia that points down, they can still be used but would need swapping sides for use with the std vRS/Octavia Hubs. The boots were New last year when I built it all up.

£120 + Postage if needed

TT/S3/R32/LCR Hub Assemblies + vRS Hub Flanges + 10k old OEM Bearings from TPS.

These are both ready to go with nearly new bearings put in them when I had the vRS flages fitted so they can go on with the std vRS drive shafts. They have only done around 10k miles to and from work when I used the car daily last year.

These are a perfect upgrade to go with the Cast Wishbones and some coilovers as they allow you to lower the front of the car by 20-30mm and still maintain the std wishbone angle which is very important for handling.

TT/S3/R32/LCR Cast Wishbones + Std OEM Solid Rubber Bushes + Ball Joints.

these are stronger than std wishbones and allow camber adjustment unlike std ones. These can also be fitted with the castor bushes to combat understeer. Bushes fitted are solid rubber std ones from TPS I fitted last year. have done approx 10k miles the same as the Ball joints so are perfectly ok to use for a few years.

SuperPRO Cast Wishbone Bushes(Castor Increase)

These are brand new and ready to fit to the Cast wishbones. I got them to go in my cast wishbones but managed to get hold of some Brand new ones with the bushes already in them.

£95 + £2.50 postage

R32 23mm Front Anti Role Bar + Nearly New (5k) SuperPRO Bushes.

This is also a must to go with all the rest of the stuff I am selling and is also a good addition to the std setup in conjunction with a 25mm or 28mm Rear Anti Role Bar. Not really advised to put this bar on without a RARB tho. THe bushes are pritty much new as I got new ones mid/late last year as I wrongly thought the ones with it were std but they wernt DOH.

Neuspeed 28mm Rear Anti Role Bar

An awesome RARB and a perfect match to the R32 FARB. Comes with all fixings needed. Will be cleaned up and painted before sale. I can paint Hammerite vRS green or spray it black? Extreemly well made bar and the fixings are one of the best. not like the crappy whiteline U clamps that bend and snap. Nothing against the whiteline tho as they are perfect entry level and spot on for the 19mm std FARB.

SOLD

All Parts are Collection from Cardiff or I can sort postage at extra cost.

I would preffer Collection tho as its easier for me and you know your getting the item as there seems to be some W*****S on here screwing people over. Also means I know your seriouse.

Postage may take a few days as I work nights and only get certain days off. Also I will post anywhere in reason BUT the Buyer Pays for it. No haggling just because Postage is high.

Payment is Pay Pal Gift or you pay the fees!

Parts are still on the car atm but will be off between the 11th July and the 18th July as I am off then to sort the car and spend time on Sat Sun Mon with my Family.

Please reply here stating the parts your after so others know and PM me so I can reply when at work for quick response.

Many thanks in advance.

STD Octavia vRS Steering Rack

Std Steering Rack only, no Tie Rods or boots, iirc I have still got the bush on it but not sure, Covered 91k mile ish and was perfectly ok when removed in Feb 2011. mostly motorway use. No knocks or play at all, Came off the car and went straight in the shed all wrapped up just in case the S3 Rack went. Dont need spares now so best off selling to someone who may need one.

SOLD

I have 3 Dogbone mount too which Ill be seeing which works best for me. I have an APR one, A std one with the Powerflex bush in and a fully SuperPRO one.

So for a complete S3/R32 front end, which bits are needed?

I'm pretty sure to get the S3 geometry it's just the wishbones, hubs, front ARB, and you'd need to have aftermarket coilovers with the mountings for the ARB on them. The standard vRS ARB setup loops over the driveshafts and mounts to the wishbone, whereas the standard R32/S3 setup goes under the shafts and mounts onto the shocks. I think most aftermarket suspension has the mountings present, as it means a single kit can do vRS/LC/LCR/S3/R32 without having to re-design it.

All these bits mate.

For the True setup you will need the Subframe bushes too but they are like £50 a each iirc but at least the buyer will have the spare subframe to sort it all out off the car ready for a straight swap. It will also need an S3 lower Brace as I will be using this one.

Steering Rack + Tie rods n ends

FARB

Cast Wishbones and Ball Joints

Hub assemblies + vRS flanges.

Not on the vRS mate, the vRS shares the same ARB connections, all other Octavia setups connect to the wishbone not the strut.

You can use this lot with the std suspension but is best used with slightly lowered kit, you could also use the shocks n springs from the TT 225 or the LCR as they have a slightly shorter shock strut? someone will prob be able to confirm for certain.

Ah, my mistake, I thought the vRS was the same as the Leon Cupra/Golf GTI. Oops!

P.M sent

would be interested in pixs of both the ARBs. Details on mileage would be good.

Couldnt say on miles mate as the r32 farb came off the car i broke up and the rarb was fom a member and he had it a year iirc.

Pics wont be a prob tho when its all off. Ill rub rarb down n repaint it.

anyone want to uprate their car?

I do! But can only offer a dead moth outta my wallet? Would expect a tenner change from it, as real wallet moths are quite hard to find so are rare.

Unfortunately I've just spent cash that I don't have spare on a great set of coilovers which I still need to fit lol
