Basically I've got a 2000 206 gti 138bhp and the o/s/r trailing arm bearing is shot and gone way past new bearings, I've been looking on eBay and researching stuff on the net. Basically I've been told I need too make sure I buy the right year axle or my brake lines and abs sensors won't connect up.
Also would a gti 180bhp rear axle fit my car even though it carries the 2 support bars.?
Cheers Ben.

I can get a mint non abs drum axle for free off a damaged car.
Now if i convert it to a disc axle using parts off my gti axle, does it matter that its non abs?
ill be using the gti torsion bars and arb aswell.
cheers john

Easy peasy, about 2 hours to do the full axle change.
