I usually position the steering so that it's making a hard turn "toward" me -- checking at the left tire, put the steering into a left turn. You can look up and see where the trailing arm goes into the beam that way, iirc. You can also put your hand on the arm/beam joint and feel for separation. If it's really bad, you can just walk up to the car and yank a front wheel @ 12 o'clock and feel/hear the clunk... -Greg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
