so i have had a knocking for a while. turns out its the wishbone bolt that goes through the rear bush/subframe.
i picked up, and torqued up new bolts from VW. still knocking. took them off for another look and the subframe hole looks ever so slightly ovaled. what options do i have?
new bolt obviously, but would i be better using a high tensile steel bolt and put some mega torque on it?
i tried torqing up the old vw bolt (stretch bolt) but it just went soft.
could i try fit a new bolt then spot weld to subframe?
