This was extremely ease to install but unfortunately they don’t clear 15” 205 GTI wheels, I end up ordering 3mm wheel spacers and same wheel bolt and washer kit as I did for rear wheels.

Lately I’ve noticed small oil stain where I park it and I keep everything clean and organized so this is totally unacceptable!
 

Oil was definitely leaking and it was gear ⚙️ oil and it was coming from speed O ring/speedo adapter and luckily I had all parts in stock! Most of these parts are OEM and this is perfect reason why I keep/buy x2 or more parts for these cars and every time I use something out of my stock I immediately reordered whatever I used so I have it for next time.

While I was at it I noticed steering rack boots stared to show cracks (everything was replaced when I was waiting for engine) so might as well replace them while I was in the neighborhood. Factory material on these boosts is very thin so they don’t last very long time, I also used good old MT90 oil and would not ever use anything else.

Wait a minute mister! You had steering ram bushings in stock as well? ?

I should also add that wheel spacers came in with new lug bolts and washers.

Great job!
