Tudy Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 (edited) Hello. I'm facing a problem with my Lupo, but I'm not 100% sure of the solution. The car came equipped with an aluminum swingarm/wheel arm and at the moment I can't find a replacement new pars anywhere, I understand that it is no longer manufactured. I want to switch to normal steel swingarms, but I understood that I should change the engine frame and stabilizer bar. Has anyone else done this conversion? Thank you Edited September 25 by Tudy Some wrong words... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Sounds like you have 3L? Everything is different compared to a normal Lupo. Try Ebay or someone who is scrapping a 3L. Otherwise you will need to change the entire front assembly. Welcome to club Lupo pic of car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Nice. Is that silver-blue or just the light? Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 Can't you just change the bushes? That whole 3L thing looks awkward and you'd have to source a GTi or TDI subframe as replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 If you need the wishbone bushes (number 2 in the picture below), these are the same as any Lupo, 6N0 407 181. Obsolete from VW now, but most decent motor factors will sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
