So I've seen on facebook and various other place that people have swapped out the earlier design (prone to ball joint failure) to the redesigned MK2 deisgn.

 

What was involved? (just bolt in or significant mods).

What parts do you need off the MK2?

Worth it?

any other tricks to catch out new players?

 

Cheers in advance

you need the two front lower control arms and the hub asembly/knuckle, per side

 

the pic below has what you need

 

the assembly on the right is the older design with the lower control arms underneath the knuckle , on the left is the mk2 with the lower control arms "inside" the knuckle
