Philipstormy 0 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Spent 3 hours this afternoon putting my new suspension on only to finish the front with no real problems just the totally seized bolts took alot of elbow grease!!!Anyhow got the old rears out and went to get the new struts from the G-MAX box inthe boot and they are differant!!! My old BOGE strutts fitted have a plate half way down for the springs to sit in but the new ones dont!!! tried tapping this off the old strutts and putting onto the G_MAX kit but it just slid over the shaft!!! BUM!!Ordered them over the phone from CandR enterprises the box does say Mk3 golf on it though!!!AM i missing something??? Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I'm assuming its for a Golf? Check that the part number for your kit is "40 VW 25". It sounds like you may have the wrong rear struts or worse the wrong kit as the plate you refer to should be part of the strut. :-( Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
Philipstormy 0 Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Sorted phoned C AND R and they confirmed with G-max with the info printed on struts that they are the wrong ones!!!The pain is even though they are sending me the right ones out now well a whole new kit, i have to take the rears apart again!!! Good job i did it myself and not paid a garage to do it!! Link to post Share on other sites
