Currently it has what i think is mk2 wishbones, vr6 hub and hub carrier and vr6 ball joint. The passenger side driveshaft is a tiny bit to long, could it be because I have the wrong set-up?? Is the vr6 hub carrier not a good idea?
This is frazziling my brain and spent putting a spanner in the works!
Any recommendations for the correct set-up? :dontknow:

you might need some ball joint/track rod spacers to correct the bump steer but you're a long way off worrying about that yet

I dont think the bearing carriers will have much effect on the lengths you need, its still going to be down to a custom set of shafts to suit a mk1 vr6. to find out the lengths you need it might be worth looking around on the vw vortex, they have a few mk1 vr6 builds going on there.
another option is try to get the car sitting level then measure from the flanges to the hubs, then ask someone around here to do the same on their mk1
