Apologies if this is a bit of a vague description but I've notice my mk2 handling a little oddly the past few days.
The best way I can describe it is the back end feels as though it wallows when you put it into a corner. The body rolls but front stays planted, rear feels like it wants to step out but then sticks. Quite fun to start with but a little unpredictable
Whipped the jack under it earlier and got the wheels off. No sag, car sits at the level it always has done. Both shocks look old but don't look particularly knackered. One was a little weepy perhaps but it certainly wasn't ****ing out and the struts looked dry, bar a bit rusty. Tyre pressures are 30 on the front and 28 at the back, and are brand new Uniroyal Rainsports.
This is how they are looking:
Beam bushes - looks a little crusty down there but couldn't feel any obvious play and there's no knocking or noises at all. Are there any fundamental signs that the rear beam bushes are shagged? Cars done 150k so it's likely they are probably past their best!
Pushing down on the boot the suspension seems to compress and spring back ok but I haven't taken the shocks off.
Thanks
