Just confirmed with tps. The 'A' suffix is the near side ball joint.

Cheers

I can see they are different in shape. It's strange as the invoice tells me which track rod end is which side and then nothing for the ball joints.

Slight problem there, I've junked the old wishbones and ball joints

I'll give tps a call tomoz, I've had enough tonight, time for a beer

I've got a pair of lower ball joints from TPS. No where on the packet does it say nearside or offside.

I have:
6N0 407 365
6N0 407 365 A

Which is which please?

Cheers.

I want them on cause I want to keep everything OEM as possible. :) I understand, I also like my cars to be as they left the factory, in which case I'll leave you alone to have the argument with yourself as to why you are fitting 280mm discs :) :wink: Haha, I like to call it OEM+ :wink: I wouldn't k...

Cheers carrera, I've bought some and they look like they'll fit fine. They're not like the rears where it is a large semicircle with an edge that hugs the disk, its more of a kidney shape with no edge as such.

As above really, I've got some 280mm discs and the larger carriers from a G60 or the like. They've come off a 6n2 already so happy days in that respect. So I'm stripping the front end right back - leaving the subframe in - to give it all a good overhaul. My splash/stone guards were none exsistant as...

Hopefully their diagnostics will connect.

Let us know the outcome!

I had the same sort of issues a few years back, it turned out to be lamda sensor problems. I had a post cat fail shortly before the wiring on the pre cat broke. The difference for me was that I had Vagcom pointing me in the right direction. It's a bit expensive changing those if it's not gauranteed ...

Stan, thanks for the offer of the second hand system, wouldn't have been able to get over to Lincs this time tho

No worries buddy.

Lincoln TPS are happy to sell to the public. Let me know either way Dan. The logistics are harder for me ATM, I'm working out in Saudi!

I'm not 100% sure on this subject but have you also got the transponder ring that goes around the ignition barrel from the donor car too? That goes off to another box of tricks which lives just up behind the light switch if I remember rightly. I take it the key/ecu are paired and from the same donor...

I'll have a good used one for sale by this weekend if your interested? I'm fitting a stainless system

I had exactly this a few years ago and it turned out to be a knackered shock absorber.

Like most people I leave the handbrake off if the car is going to be left standing for a while. Ironically I've suffered the opposite problem in that it now won't pull up/on. I've had the RH brake Caliper off for a peak and the piston is still free to move when using the brake pedal. It also winds b...
