MK4 GOLF GTI WISHBONE REPLACEMENT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2020
- In this video I replace the front wishbones on my MK4 GOLF GTI due to a suspension knocking noise that I later discovered was a torn bush in the wishbone.
The wishbones I used were mid range standard wishbones from a local parts supplier. I did not replace the ball joints during this renewal.
After the replacement I took the car to get 4-wheel alignment as the wheels were toeing in slightly and the steering wheel was off centre when travelling in a straight line.
I hope you have enjoyed watching this video and even other videos on this channel. It would be nice to know if these videos have helped some of you in some way. If you would like to see more from the SPOOLIN UP channel then please LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE ; )

Good video, cheers! will be doing this myself now. Appreciate the time you put in to making and posting this.
Hey, thanks a lot. I hope it helps you and good luck to you when you go to do it yourself 🫡
Doing this today bro. I jacked up my car to do the gear oil. And my uncle said my wheel had play. Changed my engine mounts last weekend.
I pray when these wheels touch tarmac im back in buisness
Yo, sorry for the delayed reply. How is the car going? I hope everything went well
@@SPOOLINUP driving but not nice. After getting the aliment done have bad creaking when I steer left. You on twitter bro?
@themythrighthere9412 Apologies mate I've not had much spare time to look at UA-cam. Hope you are all good. Have you jacked the car up and turned the wheels and steering by hand? I don't have twitter sorry
Hi mate. Could you feel this on the steering wheel at all? Any knocks on steering etc? Cheers! 👍
No mate, couldn't feel before or after. The knocks that I had were coming from the TT anti-roll bar/links. Worth doing though so the next MOT didn't fail as it was an advisory.
Don't know how you managed to pull the ball joint out of the wishbone. I just changed mine and I didn't have enough room for the ball joint to clear the wishbone. I had to remove the ball joint.
It was so long ago I wouldnt even remember how I did it, have you tried to move the steering to get a bit of leverage on the disc? Also if you push down on the wishbone I think the ball joint slides out of the wishbone.
@@SPOOLINUP Hi, thanks for the reply. I've just watched a couple more vids on how to do it and no one else had the same trouble i did. I even disconnected the steering track rod and that didn't work. But it is done now. At least I know what to expect doing the other side.👍
I'm glad you got it done, will all be worth it in the end. Sorry I couldn't be of much help, I cant remember the video well but its bad on my part if I didnt explain the ball joint part properly. Good luck with the other side mate 👍🏽
Would you recommend changing the ball joints? how was yours after just changing the wishbone?
Everything was all good man, come to think about it now the ball joints are only cheap so would probably be a good idea. Wish I though of that at the time 🤣
Yeah I figured while I’m there might as well change em, one of the bolts on the right arm snapped for me😂 then my jack bent and broke. Had to get a mechanic to come finish the job
Nothing is ever straight forward mate, some jobs are smooth and others are rough and anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Glad it all got sorted in the end man thats the main thing 👍
@@SPOOLINUP anything that can go wrong will go wrong
like that one :D
Hahaha mate honestly I was just doing the brakes all around on my MK2 Fiesta and NOTHING went wrong until the last corner the brake pipe was seized to the nut so it got twisted and snapped. Got new brake pipes coming now : D
Did the bolts come with the lower arm, the one for the anti roll bar on my Leon 2004 got rounded off cos some nut job used a nut gun on it lol
By lower arm are you talking about the wishbone? Are you talking about the bolts for the ARB link to wishbone?
@@SPOOLINUP yes sorry matey, the wishbone, do any of the bolts come with the new wishbone or do I have to source separately.
Oh and yes the ARB link to wishbone.
None of them came with mine man, I think you would have to source those separately unfortunately but I dont think it will be a problem for you to find them.
@@SPOOLINUP cheers matey, I will look about after work.
Whens the exhaust vid coming for the GTI man! :)
Hey man, it's literally just been edited and sent back to me today but I've got a few things to upload before that!! Its loud 😝😝
Sound man!! Looking forward to it ;) Currently trying to make the decision of what setup to go for... hopefully the video makes up my mind haha.
@@jakeharling9971 What are you thinking of going for?
@@SPOOLINUP Either Milltek or Scorpion non res + backbox and then just ebay 3" DP and decat
@@jakeharling9971 Yeah that sounds like good taste to me, would you consider used?
