    hi

    I've fitted a mk3 golf subframe to my mk2 but now the bush that bolts to the lower arm the arb slots in is up against the CV joint I don't know why seeing it's the same hub and lower arm help[:s]

    Yes I had put it on upside down realized when the track rod was catching but it's the bit that's bolts on to the lower arm that's catching the gator I have put 16v hubs on and it was an 8v but I can't see why that would make any difference
