Title: WTB early VW MK3 front steering knuckles
Post by: srgtlord on March 25, 2021, 12:18:50 pm

As the title states I'm looking for the early VW MK3 front steering knuckles. The early type looks very similar to the MK2 knuckles but has different brake calipers

Is a 96 B4 the same?

 Early as in what year did they change.

Hmm maybe I was looking at an incorrect listing on ebay. I do not see any noticeable changes on the mk3 knuckles/spindles in other pictures. Im not sure if the 96 B4 knuckes are the same but they sure look like it based on some pictures Ive found. Basically Im going to convert to the MK3 knuckles to upgrade to the MK3 style front calipers. If someone has the knuckles and caliper brackets that would be super helpful as well.

As fate would have it I found a cabrio locally that is headed for the crusher where the owner is allowing me to grab the steering knuckles off

Well not so lucky. Someone lost the lug nut key. Now I have to figure out if I can use a lugnut extractor or if I have to bite the bullet and get the key from vw

vice grips won't bite em enough to get them turning?

Chisel on a tangent?

Welp turns out a 13/16 lugnut extractor solves the missing lugnut key issue  ;)
