****** hell Chris proper brown trouser moment
It was while I was driving it lee lol did check my pants haha, all good though. Just waiting for final cost from MidlandVW there great there though and have already put it back together, Jody had a spare pair of OEM tie bars he put on.
I use the ones from Megan racing - been 2 years since they have been installed. No issues yet and look fine. Just had wheel alignment done over the weekend, so had a look underneath the car. Then again I dont get the corrosion that you guys get over there. I just get DUST !!!

Now they look the nuts and not badly priced either.
Whoa Chris!!!
Lucky there wasnt too much damage and you are ok too, hope you get this sorted soon
Cheers Nilz it's sorted now I think just need to speak to jody to make sure there no other issues and collect the car. Gops was up there when my car came in he sent me a picture of it on the ramp lol.
Do these adjust insitu lh/rh threaded or do you have to set them and install them?
I cant make them out from the pictures
hi bill yeah these can be adjusted insitu had them adjusted when I had 4 wheel alignment.
If you need a hand sorting this Chris, give me a shout fella. Would be happy to help
Thanks James very kind of you mate, it's been sorted now its with MidlandVW.
Wow, not been on the forum for a few weeks, I log on and find this! Glad you're OK Chris; one shunt a year is enough for anyone.
And yes - RIP s3dave.
16 months on the car? They look older than that from the pics - were they new when installed? Did you have the rose joints in the hubs replaced at the same time? Just wondering if this could be a source of the problem if the joints were seizing and putting additional stress on the bars..?
When I had my suspension done last year I replaced all the bushes with Powerflex and also had the rose joints replaced with new to be sure everything was nice & free with no slop. Either way, I'll definitely get under there and check out the tie bars at the weekend after seeing this.
Hi Paul, cheers mate all is okay luckily no body damage as the wheel didn't catch the arch so I still have a shinier car than you
As for the bars they were brand new from David and I had all the front and really polly bushed, but definitely recommend checking them mate.
Well this is quite worrying. I have the mild steel versions which have been on the car about 18 months, the cars in for it's MOT on Saturday morning so I'll have a good nosey whilst it's on the ramps. I might even change them anyway for peace of mind!
Both sides were badly corroded Dave, and I was told that the metal there made from was way to thin and possibly dangerous to drive with, nothing against Dave as we got on well and Iv had many dealing with him R.I.P Dave. but it's from a safety side I'm more concerned about.
If I modify mine would other people want them strengthened the same way?
Bit too late for mine Andy, or do you have any ideas on making stronger ones as a side job
