Beetle lowered!

April 8, 2007 on 7:56 pm | In Volkswagen Beetle |

Today I finally finished (kinda) lowering the front of the beetle! It looks so much better :D

I ended up putting the beam on and then having to take it all off again because I didn’t realise I had to put some rubber bits on between the bolts! I also had great fun trying to put the steering box back onto the beam once it was fitted. The steering is grinding a little bit, I think it is where the bottom of the rod going from the wheel to the box is grinding on the tube bit..

I now need to buy some new ball joints for the steering, a new steering dampener and I should really replace the shocks. Once I replace the monster tyres (and maybe the wheels??) it will be even lower!
