Came to swop the lower arms yesterday and I've got one 18mm and one 16mm all fun and games! Rang a local scrappy and he's got a pair off a gti-6 as far as I'm aware they were all 18mm is this correct?

All good fun someone has been up the scrap yard I guess! Ill get another 18mm hub for the breaker I've already got the lower arms! The dealer said mine should be 18mm but who knows!

Good man, It's pain when anything like this comes in as it takes another day to get the right parts in, But as said all 306's upto and around 99 used 16mm then after that the GTi's went to 18mm, no idea about other models

Mind don;t buy cheap wishbones

ill get a free weekend in feb get everything swapped over then! no harm in putting the 18mm hubs on there i had them cheap enough! then all that's left is wheels so i can swap the brakes over and get the rear beam on!
