Can you confirm Castor Arrn? *pics*

Mechanic says I need a castor arm to cure my squeaking, and occasional scraping sound. However, he is not around for a few days, and I need to source the parts.

Can anybody please confirm which one is the Castor Arm? I suspect it’s the cheaper one of the two examples posted below.

Both spring link & tension strut may be applicable, I would suggest you confirm with him before ordering, attached complete parts list for this reason.

Thanks. The garage won’t tell me exactly what parts I need, I suspect as they don’t want me providing them. They did offer an all in supplied & fitted quote of £630 though, and said I should I even do the side that is fine 😔



I took it to another local garage who is good for basics. He couldn’t see anything wrong, and said he’d grease the joints and see how that goes over the weekend.

I have put the part number into Autodoc, but many of the options are out of stock. However, if I use my Reg, and give me various options, but the part number here is not on the list.

Are they likely to still fit?

Autodoc a2053306510 & a2053304403 bring up a number of aftermarket compatibles, try Google searching part #s without ‘a’.
