Hi changed brakes to vr6 but have problim with cv on the driver side touching the chassie.
I used the original arm but changed the cv joints on both sides.
The passenger side is fine.
The car is auto.

I have a MK2 golf auto I replaced the brakes with that of a VR6. The problem I now have is that the existing shaft of the MK2 is touching the body of the car when turning to the left. Any advice as to how I can fix this problem

Engine mounts maybe  :-\ :-\ :-\,did you change the bearing /hub carriers? did you align the struts back the way they were?

The bearing hubs are VR6 ones.
Don't the strut just go in one way only?
Will need to check engine mount.

Have you had a look @ the mounts ? best way is to rock the engine back and forward it shouldn't move too much,pretty sure the auto has a special front mount ? front mounts seem to go first from my experience.
The struts have larger holes than the fitting bolts this will change your camber and tilt the shaft/s.

Another thing is the bottom ball joints they are in slotted holes also,check them too.

Yes they are but holes were abit off so i reamed the two back hole of the ball joint to fit in the slot.
Are you in Auckland?

Nah, I'am on the wrong island,you appear to have a miss match of parts never alter parts to make them fit? get a full wheel alignment to sort your problems,cheers.
