S3 FRONT alloy hub on GTi
« on: September 11, 2017, 05:18:25 pm »
Just fitted alloy hubs and noticed tracking feels slightly out.

Are the S3 alloy hubs slightly different size in terms of where the track rod end bolts in compared to my steel hubs?

Anyone else fitted them and had to alter tracking?

The S3/Passat front knuckle does indeed have a different Tie rod anchor point. 

The S3/Passat knuckle and ball joints have more bump steer correction, so are the perfect combo for a lowered Golf.
