I have noticed that my May 89 gti has smaller rear torsion bars than the other one I have that was built February 1990. Anyone out there have any information on torsion bars and rear arb found on 205 GTI
I did post main tube diameters for someone else a while ago for GTI and Si that I had, you could do a search.
cheers

I assume you are referring to post #7:-

The measurements I have made are as follows:
Yellow Beam 205 GTI ARB 19mm Torsion Bars 19mm
Black beam GTI now know it is a SI beam: Torsion Bars 18.3 mm I have an SI ARB here it is 16.2mm.
Craig from a visual inspection the beam trailing arms seem ok but not sure what to look for? and do you test if the arm bearings are ok?
