#1: Gti 180 rear lateral arm Author: Dan-, Location: BiggleswadePosted: Sun Feb 20, 2011 3:52 pm ---- Hi there, I own a 180 and recently had an annoying knocking coming from the drivers side rear, so jacked the car up today and pulled around and the only thing I could see to be the cause was the ARB? The 2 bars that connect to the Axle and the hub. I removed both of them lowered the car and took it for a test drive, all seems to be okay the knocking has gone, is there any drawback to removing them? And will I be able to buy new bushes or will 2 new bars be the easiest way.
Thanks dan Last edited by Dan- on Sun Feb 20, 2011 4:06 pm; edited 1 time in total

I genuinely believed it was coming from the back! Just a thought......
