SiGainey 1 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Any ideas what needs changing first - the rear end on my 97 is all over the place at the limit. I know not to lift the throttle but as soon as I straighten up out of the corner, the back wants to overtake the front - it kinda wallows and starts a tank slapper... What do people think is up? I aint got the £££ to do bushes, shocks and springs.... Link to post Share on other sites

rodney 17 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 start with the basics..Shcks and springs. Then revisit with Bushes, ARB etc etc once finance is back on track, People always forget that shocks are consumeables like pads and oil Link to post Share on other sites
SiGainey 1 Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Had a look under her today and front wishbone bushes are shot Rear shocks aren't leaking at all and one looks to have been recently replaced with a VW item! Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 how much does the rear end bounce up and donw when u push donw hard on it once , shocks shoud be changed in pairs well that wot ive always been told to do .. err could also be weak springs or ARB bushes gone if it wollows a lto and got loads of roll ,,,,,,, Link to post Share on other sites
SiGainey 1 Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Sod all m8 which is why I think the shocks are ok. Maybe the springs are knackered but I dont want to lower it as I'll have hassle insuring it Link to post Share on other sites

dragongreen_vr6 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 my golf is a bit snappy on the back end, i think you just generally get quite bad lift off oversteer in the vr6 golfs cuz ther is so much weight on the front end. Link to post Share on other sites
