    That looks like the wrong hub/spindle.



    Compared to below, the housing is completely different where the strut is mounted, smoothed as opposed to the ridges. (between the strut and wheel bearing hub)

    Maybe the previous owner attempted to swap out 2.0/tdi brakes for 1.8t/vr6 brakes and didn't do it correctly? Could always be the problem

    Would TT arms help in this situation? They have slots instead of holes for the balljoint, right? Allows for some camber adjustment?

    Have you tried putting in a whole different set of ball joints, or maybe your old ones and if that corrects the problem then.....

    2.0 spindles will work technically but you would have to downgrade your brakes at the same time because 2.0 calipers and 1.8t calipers are not the same and have different mounting. I honestly might just swap one side to see if it fixes the problem but i wouldn't keep it like that.

    I'm pretty sure those spindle's are from the wrong car, can't figure out what, but the wrong car for sure.

    Should be easy to find spindle's for the 1.8T (they should be the same for the vr6 i think)

    Yes, looks like they're the same. All the 2.slow and TDI guys swap the 1.8T/VR6 spindle/bearing.

    I swear those knuckes are from the wrong car!

    Too much win..

    Do you have a friend or something like that with mk4 who could bring his car to your place? You could check the fitment and measurements and whatnot with your own eyes. Atm you're just posting ****ty pics of your front suspension from different angles and everybody else is trying to guess what might be wrong. I'm just lmao after reading 13 pages of guesswork and people starting to go herpderp over some tt arms.

    I can't believe I just registered on vwvortex just to say this. And howdy from Finland!
