Re: Change upper control arms
Yes I would say so,should be able to disconnect strut from the bottom arm and then undoe the strut top mount from the inner wing,you will have to work within the wheel arch which will be a pain but.....I had a specialist do the uppers on my RS but about to tackle it this weekend on my tdi.
