febi suspension arm total failure after 25k!

Post by howey »

My bro calls me to say cars (2000 b5) terrible to steer and locking up! Goes to look at it expecting steering rack fault only to find o/s/f wheel clonking badly on turning steering wheel. Jacked up and found upper arm ball joint completely ripped out!

Having stated previously febi are good I have to now retract that statement. This happened with no warning but luckily low speed, heaven knows the result at high speed!!

No more febi for me!
