Inner IRS rod end option?

Thanks Dorigtt, that looks very promising. It looks like it was just the bolt he modified, I guess the stock VW threaded part takes the place of the red spacers on the inner side of the bearing..

Ricola, to use the spherical bearing I just turned down the VW bolt. I used alloy arms, I'm not sure how the bearings fit in a steel arm, what have you got? I would imagine it would still work.
I had to narrow the inner spacer that comes with the spherical bearing to get the arm where I wanted it (further inboard) but it was pretty easy to do.
Between the provided spacers and the factory washers you should be able to set it up how you like.
good luck if you go this way, Ian

Thanks for your reply Ian!
My only concern now is that I have the steel IRS arms from a 944 and possible internal diameter issues? From searching it looks like people that have fitted the VW size irs urethane bushes have to keep the steel bush sleeve that is part of the Porsche bushing assembly but that is removed when fitting the uninall kits so the kit might be too big for the be arm?
