Parts for the rear end rebuild?

Post by ChrisA » Sat Jun 03, 2023 2:13 pm

Hi guys

It’s been a long time since I done any meaningful work to the RS, only managing to snatch an hour here and there.

I’m pleased to say that I’ve now got everything I want off the car. I’ve still yet to brake some of those parts down, namely the rear drive shaft and hub, but hopefully that should be straight forward enough.


What I would like some help with is part numbers and alternatives where needed.

I’ve already got a full rear end polly bush kit and lower control arm eccentric bolts.

Here’s the parts list with links to AD.

re ABS sensors - my bet (hope) is that it's a compatible sensor, but just the plug/wire/bung etc that's different.

I’ve ordered a pair of each. If there’s no issues fitting them 🤞 you can have the spares as payment for helping me via WattsApp. 🫡

How did you get on with the eBay headlight levelling sensors? Or am I imagining this? 😬

I managed to make the front fit. Not looked at the rear yet though.
