The original VW stamped-steel design LCA was a magnet for both rust and rock strikes. The relatively thin material—coupled with an open-sided, stamped design—collected moisture and grime inside the arm, inevitably leading to corrosion. The thin material is also of little help when the low hanging arm strikes an object off-road. On top of all that, the main flaw in this design is that VW relied on the relatively thin metal in the shock pocket to simply crush down to the size of whatever shock sleeve was used. If the last shock had a sleeve that was even 1\/8” narrower than what you are trying to replace it with, it was hell to pay to spread the arm back out to accommodate the new shock\/sleeve, making an already difficult job even more difficult and time-consuming. The upside of this design was the removeable ball joint insert that makes for a vastly easier lower ball joint replacement, and the design featured a replaceable radius rod. However, VW knew they could save money and eliminate the internal corrosion issues if they went with a solid cast arm with ball joint bracket radius rod all in one (very heavy) assembly. So that is precisely what they did beginning in 1989 (note: 2WD changed in 1986), albeit at the expense of these two excellent features.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1989-91 Cast Arms: Strong, not rust-prone—but extremely heavy and much more difficult to maintain.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have the later-style 1989-91 cast arms, you have probably been very annoyed that replacing the lower ball joint requires \u003cem\u003ecomplete disassembly\u003c\/em\u003e of the front suspension to replace the ball joint! That's some back-breaking work. Those things are heavy! This is why we went with the older arm design with removable ball joint insert and replaceable radius rod (both coming soon here at GoWesty—the latter with more adjustability!). The one and only very cool thing about the later design was the lower ball shock bolt tapered sleeve system instead of the old “crush it until it’s tight” system previously employed. That was one thing they got very right, and that's why we included that feature in our arms. In summary, the later arms were simply two steps forward and three big steps back.
