Hi Guys,

This has probably been discussed before but here goes. I am looking to replace the track control arms for my 2004 1.4 tdi. There seems to be two quite different looking types, the pressed steel variety that my car currently has or the forged steel type. The forged steel type look as though they would be a direct replacement for my pressed steel variety but of course the part numbers are different. Mine I believe are 8Z0 407 153 and are not handed as the ball joint is bolted either way, the others are handed (407 151 & 152) due to a fixed ball joint. My simple question is are they interchangable ?

Thanks - David
 
 
I have a 2004 1.4 tdi and fitted the forged arms. I bought them and the garage fitted them and they didn't make any comment re difficulties etc. I went for Lemforder - £122 each plus bushes total £257 for parts from Autopartspro in 2018. Labour £147. Recommended.

PS these might be more expensive but remember on the forged you cannot change the ball joints so it pays to buy quality. Also I recall some comments about the poor size accuracy of cheap ones.
