Yeah, some of my rear stuff is where I couldn’t get OEM

They claim the red is near to OEM, so rather than mess about mix and matching I thought I’d just do the lot in red.

Can anyone confirm what size ARB front and rear ARB we have and what they’re referring to with the two rear track rod options?

Sorry, don’t know. I only fitted 221755A and 221756A, the lower arm bushes IIRC.

Does any know the diameter of the rear ARB, did they change size during production?

I doubt they changed size during production, this would usually trigger a new part number and a supercession, along with the bushes and brackets too. I don't see this in the parts book.
You're probably seeing the choices across the RS6, S6 and VW Passat range. And sorry, my car has hotchkis ARBs, so no point in me measuring.
