Lopsided golf?????

[richandhazel]

Woops........too late........oh well they're in now and they were cheap.......

I wouldn't recommend buying boge shocks and lowering springs from GSF. They are absolute sh!te and its not just me who has had problems.

Blimey, just down the road......it is a small world.
I do all my own work + I used to work on other peoples, usually friends and family etc., but I'm up to my eyes at the moment and the misses is getting fed up with the lack of DIY.......can't really recommend anyone, sorry  
I can ask around if you like?

Ok, i might take it to a garage. I saw from an earlier thread that you live in Yateley. Is there anybody that you recommend in that area as i live in Eversley?

I had the lopsided problem after fitting a BOGE kit from GSF and the quality of the kit was complete pony, I have since got Eibach springs and the car now sits true and rides much better, also had loads of problems with parts from GSF like cam belt tensioners and brake calipers. Its a false economy I think using pattern parts and I always fit original parts now.

If my car is lopsided with 4 new struts from VW (Boge parts) they are going back - have no fear. Possibly followed by a bill for wasting my time if they kick up a fuss.

On my car the struts weren't the problem but the springs, the ends of one curved in towards the coils and the other one didn't so this made the height different on each side of the car, also when removed the coils had been touching together on the bottom 4 coils as rust had appeared on them where the paint has rubbed off. They used to bottom out all the time and the ride quality was terrible.
