T3 Front and Rear Mudflaps – Original VW Style – Back in Stock

The original style Mud Flaps were available again for a short time, but are now obsolete.

We have sourced these, which are almost identical both in quality and appearance.
The obvious difference is the large VW roundel which is missing from the rear flaps.

Mounting is exactly the same as the originals – through holes in the body just behind the front and rear arches. Fittings are included. Also included are the mounting brackets and plates (in stainless steel).

All in all, a great bit of kit.

As these mount through the body, if your T3 didnt come with them originally you’ll need to make holes….

Checking VW T4 upper ball joints

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv71gaiLSC0&feature=youtu.be]

You cannot check the ball joints on a T4 in the normal way by simply jacking the vehicle up and shaking the wheel.

The wheel has to be removed from the hub and a bar inserted between the hub carrier and the upper arm and prised apart to check for play.

We see vans quite often here that come in for service whose ball joints are as in the video above, absolutely knackered! when we show the customer they often say well, it’s just gone through an MOT!”

Changing a T4 upper ball joint takes about 1 hour per side but it does require the use of a special press to remove and replace.
