Sooooo I fitted moog inner & outer tie rods in January. Had a z1 diff brace fitted in March and noticed that the outer tie rods were heavily rusted, more so than the oem ones I replaced? I don't live near the sea and the car is garaged. No other car parts I've fitted have rusted like that. Is this an issue anyone else has had? Do I need to replace them with oem ones or do they need stripping and repainting? Don't want it getting worse obviously.

Wow! That's a huge saving on the wiring loom!

Cheers guys I'll have a gander at z1 and whiteline. 👍

Cheers mate, is there a preference between the z1 and whiteline? Or are they all pretty similar in quality?

As title suggests, need a bit of help as which way to go with this. My 350 is a daily, so from what I've heard it's best to steer clear of solid bushings. Obviously if I'm wrong on that please let me know. I've seen the z1 kit with diff brace and subrame collars, but can't see many reviews on it. Basically any advise on what's best to go with would be great.

I've got cobra HFC's on mine, can't fault them. Sailed through MOT.

Has the car actually been tuned since the decats were fitted?

I I'd go abbey. I'm based near Manchester so went with Chris who used to run tdi north. But if I was that close to Mark he'd be first pick. 👍

Where are you based?

Are they oem mate?

Nice! Cracking motor.

Just out of curiosity is the interior the same? Or is anything different? Apart from the accelerator pedal obviously.

Getting new oem tie rod boots. Anyone know if moog tie rods fit with them?

Cheers mate, I'll give that a go. Took the spare tyre out and can't here it as often now, maybe taking the weight off did something. I'll keep investigating.

Was thinking it might be rear upper control arm bushings?
