The axle bushes have worn so badly that the inside of the wheel is scraping on the body. From all the axle posts I have seen on the net, it seems that it is a huge design flaw.
They seem to have addressed the problem via adding rods on the SW / GTI 180 to prevent horizontal movement of the wheels (and hence the excessive forces on the bushes). This seems to have worked a treat as the cars fitted with these don't seem to have the axle problem quite so badly. I have read that these axles last significantly longer.
Now, my question is: can they be fitted onto a cc?
From what I can see, the rear body braces and the exhaust might be in the way.
Has anyone looked into this at all?
I'd post an image but apparently I'm not allowed...
Kind regards,
