Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

'99 C2 - had a bit of a wobble in the rear end around corners. Figured I would start off with replacing the control arms.
Started with the rear driver's side -- got it apart and went for the obligatory "compare old with new".
First thought was Dang, must have ordered the wrong thing. After some poking around it seems like I have the right part and the old one was less than optimum.
Original part is 996.341.143.03. New part is Meyle 4160500024.
Is something not right here?
One of these things is not like the other 4 that I bought.
Other side looks a bit more like I expected.
The bent one has a notch/chunk on what would have been the outside bottom. I saw a YouTube video of one of the P.O.s talking about how he enjoyed working on this car with his son.
Wondering if the lesson that day was "Where not to put the jack". Possibly followed by a change of shorts.
TexSquirrel -- alignment is in the plans, wondering if I should just suck it up and get a set of Feals.
DOH!
They would do such evil on the rear? I could see on the front but there must be better ways to break things going backwards..
Then again, there's some scraping on the front that suggests perhaps someone went off in search of shrubbery. Maybe that's related
