Title: New rear shocks noise
Post by: admc6 on 21 December 2009, 11:30

I've had both rear shocks replaced with new standard ones...

Am i right to expect these to make some setting in noises..creaks etc?

Would guess so unless the rear top mounts are knackered.

when i fitted new shocks i was told by a friend in the trade.
to make sure you tight the bolt when the wheels are on the floor
then tight the bottom bolts up (near the brakes)  :undecided:

I will try and have a look later. They where just replacement ones. Not sure where the garage gets them from. Not vag tho.

Just to add, they only make a noise when there is wait in the back of the car...e.g 1 person and a couple of big bags

Are the springs in their seats at the top?
