warrior motorsport fitted my powerflow exhaust, and my car is going there monday to have coilovers n mounts put on, also sorting out the steering.

They are top quality guys.

MIKESTERS APPROVAL i reckon!!

They had some hottuning coilovers on a mk1 cab last time i was there. Not bad i reckon.

so your keeping the mk 3 then mike??

and regarding the suspension woes, i thinks its just down to the tracking etc now and the fact you are running the thing super low :grin:, the cheeper coilovers (as good as they are) can be a bit harsh on mega low settings

ive noticed that the drivers side wheel has side to side movement in it wen jacked up , i cant pin point whats wrong with it tho every thing seems to move its although there/s play in the track rod like play in the steering but it ony seems to be one side ? i dont think its a bush but cant be sure , what i have noticed it that it looks like the car has had damage to the the front / drivers side as it has a different wing and bonnet thats been sprayed , i hope nothing is damaged undernieth it all looks ok !

any know what the play (side side movement about 3/4mm ) could be , i dont think its wheel bearing as it would move up and down aswel ?and as i say the whole lot hub arms and anti roll seem to movr the same

I would have a look at the wheel bearing as they are weak on the mk3!! and if its loose change the hub too as these are what fails and causing rapid bearing failure

Have you tried A14 Performance Tyres in Bury St Edmunds....???.....their exhaust department are Powerflow fitters and sorted me out last week on the middle section of my Valver. While i was waiting they were doing laser tracking on a slammed MK2 (which i might add had side exit tailpipes which looked the dogs dangleys) could be worth a call.

fitted my raceland/hottuning coilies last week and there bob on for me, thought they would be bouncey on a vr6 but there fine tbh.... as for you shakey woes, if you got play laft to right on yas wheel (not up and down as youve said it would be wheel bearing)... , peel back your boot on your steering rack, some times the pressed cup that screws into the rack with the ball in it comes loose, will cause loose steering and similar symptoms to that of a knacked track rod end... but its the other end!!  might not be this but worth a look!! as ive had it on other mk2 and mk3 golfs and it was always this
