Alert: 02-05+ (?): Rear Tie Rod Subframe Mounting Rust

MOT man found a great big rusty hole in one of my (RL) rear tie rod mounting brackets, the inner one, everything went quite wobbly when I removed the tie rod!

Lots of lovely welding later and all is well.

If you have an older variety L322 well worth checking these out.

Very useful info Joe, thanks,
Mine just had a MOT, passed but with advisories on the brake pipes corroding.
The guy took me on a tour of the underside, and its amazing the amount of surface rust showing at the rear.
For a very low milage fatty its pretty disgusting how the b/pipes have corroded and surface rust has appeared (eg behind the rear inner plastic wheel arches) Evil or Very Mad .

My Octavia MK1 Vrs, the pipes are still like new even tho its a higher milage car and the u/side is pristine.
Mind you Skoda did used to build tanks in the first WW Rolling with laughter .

Been reading your very very useful post on brake pipes and been buying all the bits so when it cools down a bit I shall replace them with Cunifer (got 2 rolls just in case). I did the same with my Classic RR, they were one of the few areas that hadnt rusted.
NB: My ABS block is sited next to the servo also on n/s wing there seems to be a small distribution manifold for the brake lines.



Thumbs Up
