Re: [Syncro] Re: New rear trailing arms in Europe - any opinions?

Back in the day companies like sway-away made stronger high travel ball joints
for type one vws. Maybe these are something like that. Maybe something sourced
from another European vw.

I'm interested in the "heavy duty lower ball joints" I wonder what makes them
stronger..

With larger tirer the lower ball joints seem to be the weakest link

shot at. Also, the rear shock mount is removable, which means you could get a
custom one made and easily put it on without wielding.
