I really don't understand why some people buy cheap beams???? ok, it might not have camber and the arms may move freely, but the problem lies with perished seals so many 'good' axles I have stripped, and found they wouldn't of lasted 12 months I really don't think what I charge is dear, and pretty sure many of my past customers would agree, that they have spent wisely, on an axle that will last a very long time ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

I'd have a rebuilt one over unknown everyday of the week. ________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

Not saying this is right, just that it happens. And money talks: £100 is less than £350. It's not what I'd do, or you'd do, but that's irrelevant. |

Having bought one of Andy's rear beams, along with I've literally only driven my car 2 or 3 times since having the beam on but I can say that in that time the difference is amazing. Swapping one rusty old beam for another hardly makes any sense given the amount of time it takes to do. However it's up to you |

Andy what sort of prices have you found to courier a beam? I can't come up with anything cost efficient by the time I've also sent you an exchange beam. And you're a 500 mile round trip which equates to about £100 of fuel. |

i don't do couriers i'm afraid. past customers have actually found it cheaper to collect an axle, as that way they have px'd their old one at the same time. if you don't px, i have to charge more. in all honesty. i've had other customers travel a lot further ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.
