I think my Beetling season has come to an end...... On my way home tonight at close to 70km/h I heard a sudden bang and was thrown across several lanes of traffic.
I haven't made a full assessment but it looks like the lower ball joint completely seperated; at this point it also looks like the shock tower has been severely damaged.
Thoughts and comments?
Is it worth trying to repair this end or would I be better off getting a new bean (phase II spindle to spindle)? I'm opting for a full beam because I'm a little suspect about the other side shock tower and the beam itself => it was pushed inta a couple of rough spots on the road before I cam to a stop.
How hard is it to remove and replace the entire beam? Can it be done without pulling the body?
Right now, I'm just thankful that no one got hurt!
Thanks for your comments.
