I don't think the ball joints themselves are a user replacement part, the bushes are but otherwise its a complete assembly .
Yea true that I may lose the bushings but we'll see. I can probably press them out without too many issues. I'll look into see what ball joint options I have if any.

You'll be able to reuse the bushes when the ball joint goes eventually, i have all powerflex in the front and reused bushes in new arms. If you do, a bit of advice to keep bushes in better shape if your reusing, put a couple of cuts in the outer surround on the old arm the bush is coming out of so when you press it out there is a bit of give, makes it easier. I recently did it on the control arms, i slit both sides and the bushes came out no trouble.
No. No cover. Never had a problem but the lines are close. I have some of them zip tied off just in case so they don't walk off into that area.Are you not running a camshaft pulley top cover then Edgar, that hose looks a bit close for comfort.
I was about to ask the very same question.Interesting, what is the RS relay meant to do differently?

Firms up the slop that you feel primarily when driving in a straight line but also when you go over bumps. It's as if the B7 on its normal relay is always trying to over correct your steering and driving and this calms it down. That's the best way I can explain it.I was about to ask the very same question.
I don't know how to answer that question Rob as i don't have any good knowledge of anything servotronic. I don't have any warnings or extra lights set off with it. It's plug and play and nothing more needed than that.How does it interface with the servotronic steering on the B7's ?
So this isn't a petrol only issue and could work on a TDI B7?Firms up the slop that you feel primarily when driving in a straight line but also when you go over bumps.

I would imagine so. The relay is located under the knee bolster (my car is left hand drive) and has 640 stamped on it. I imagine if you have that same one then it should be a straight forward swap.So this isn't a petrol only issue and could work on a TDI B7?
You are technically correct because that is the stock relay found in our B7s but the relay you want to replace it with is part number:OEM part number for that 640 servo relay:
