As this suspension I have got seems to be abit loose it must be from a MK3 and not the MK3.5 as I know the MK3 ones are slightly smaller

So I will need to fit the MK3 hubs.

Doing so, do I need anything else different? eg. wishbones driveshafts? brakes?

Which if so is a bugger as ive just ragged all my mk3.5 stuff off my 5 door grr

Please let me know you brainy peoples

lower arm (if the ball joint is the smaller versionon the lower arm)
drive shaft coz the splines are suppost to be diffrent (not sure on that one but try it)

thats it really

oh one other thing just to clear a bit of confusion are you on about the hub ie flange where the wheel studs are or the knuckle where all the suspention is joint to
