968 castor blocks on early arms?
Will 968 style castor blocks work on early steel arms?

I don't believe so. The arrangement is different. Never tried it however.

Ya, I was wondering the same thing, and apparently the inner diameter of the caster block bushing will not fit an early/steel arm end section.

I don't think so, ended up having new original style bushings pressed on my early arms and went with it. They were still a huge improvement over the old ones

Weltmeister polygraphic in red. I have these on my 944 spec. $50 a set I believe. Don't get the black ones. Just the red.

Ordered the VW kit for $20 and new control arms for $22 each. Cheapest thing I've ever done to this car!
