TT/S3 alloy arms & swivels Thread

[laurent.d]

So an update without much information.

I'm desesperate to found out more.

My last hope just gone, ther is no parts in stock anywhere all around Paris so I can't check the TT swivel shape.

So accoding to the ''Service Training Audi TT'' file and all what I could read on Forum a:

It seems that TT swivels need the use off TT tie rods which are much shorter than Golf/A3 on's. And fixing hole into the the swivel seems diferent. So it won't fit.

Moreover, nobody can validate that as ''Service Training Audi TT'' says, TT swivel widen the track. So it should widen the track.

I E-mailed Christoph BREUER from Raeder Motorsport in Germany who use to race an A3 in VNL Nürburgring race, and it seems that they use S3 swivel with a custom adjustable balljoint.

It seems that nobody in UK, US, France use TT swivel on Golf/A3.

So far, it seems that the only way to go is S3 swivel.

My .02, you'd get more performance gain from the H2Sport swivel with its much better roll center, than you will get from shaving a few pounds with the aluminum S3 swivel. Of course, both would be ideal. C'est la vie.

May be, but they are still not on the market...

 

[laurent.d]

TT lower arms, ball joints and S3 Swivel ordered yesterday for me.:happyanim:
+ HPFP Cam follower and RS4 pressure valve, but it's another subject.

That's damn expensive!!

 

[fuscobal]

Just installed my summer 19''wheels and, with the TT arms, they sit about 8mm more towards outside than before measured on the upper side of the wheel (the tires get out of the fender now but fortunately they don't seem to rub) !

I'm going to fit the S3 hubs. S3 arms were fitted last year.

Is anyone able to confirm the part numbers?

anyone ??

[fuscobal]

Can't confirm the part numbers but I've just purchased the S3 hubs + bearings + speed sensors from a guy. I will install them in about 2 weeks and make some detailed pics. I just have to see if I can keep the TT arms in the correct position or with the ball joint on top !

 

[the bruce]

Let me know about it. I'm going to do the same.

 

[Gotsol]

subscribed, i just mounted up the TT control arms. i was thinking of using the Passat 4motion hubs but I'm not sure about the geometry

 

[the bruce]

(early) Passat arms = Leon Cupra arms = S3 arms = RS3 arms = Sharan (2011) arms

Only the rear bushing differs. Same geometry as Golf. Cupra/S3/RS3 rear bush is solid rubber.

 

[fuscobal]

S3 hubs are here. They weigh 2.9Kg each (with the sensor). I will weigh my iron ones when I get to switch them !

Fancy a rear alu. spindle :biggrin:

FWD

AWD

S3 bushings are stiffer than GTI but not quite solid rubber. The TT-2 bushings are solid rubber.
