Suspension trouble

[Veedubgt18v]

shocks dont keep the car up tho. if you took the springs out it would be on the deck! i reckon springs.

yeah, exactly.

if the car has had the engine out for any period of time the front springs can also stay a bit high, or sink when the engine is put back in. they have a mind of their own.

we agreeing on something tin?

inspection time methinks

sounds like the top mounts (or a top mount!) to be honest

but 3 cm's is like over an inch, if its a top mount that is absolutely f**ked! mine were shagged totally and only gave half that play!

Thanks for all the help from everyone.Im going to check out the shocks.Think it would be the top mounts aswell.

How hard is it to change the shocks and everything on a vw?
How many hours to do all four?

if you know what your doing then about 45 mins a side for the front and about 45 total for the back i would say. when you come to do it let us know and i will post up here how you do it. it is in the haynes manual tho. one tip remove both rear shocks at the same time but support the swing arm
