Looks like you could get away with a complete lower arm and the tie rod, may need the ARB link rods too..

lower control arms, tie rods and drop links are required to convert to late, CJ should have them available as a set.

right then,he hasn't looked yet to see if the 89 single cab parts truck has the same pressed bottom arms as the DOKA. and even if it is the same they might be rusted out too............

i'll maybe get to have a look myself tomorrow.

thanks again to everyone.

anyone ever seen or heard of cast alu bottom arms?

Nope... you found some?

no, but this morning there was a german telling me that he thinks VW made 3 types................

Only ever seen 2 types.And ive seen (worked on)a lot of vans from may countrys.

i think he was dreaming. and no it's not a language problem.

Hi,

they changed the gap between the washing-jets in summer 1986. Some busses get the old version in 1987 too.

The repair plates had all the "early" version, so sometimes you can see on a later model bus has a front repair.

early:

I don't know if there's a difference for than on right hand drive buses.

Thank god in the UK you can just look at the numberplate!

oh okay wishbone is not what i thougt

okay, I've seen in the parts catalog:

old version VIN until 24-K-048497

"K" in the VIN is 1989 (Summer)

Sorry I don't mean to be ofencive, Its just nice to be able to look at a reg plate to workout somethings age instead of having to know geeky facts of what changed when,

Yours, taking it all in and won't be able to pass another van without looking at the washer jets because he's a sad "bar-steward",

Ehhh???
