Mk 2 rear suspension issue
 

Hi all, I have just replaced the 2 springs on the car and now it feels like I'm on a pogo stick!! When I go around corners and the road is a bit rough it's all over the place or scitting about. I never had this problem with the old springs or at least very little , should I have changed the shocks at the same time ? Or replace my old springs. The car is a 2002 with 210000 on the clock . Thanks

Seems like absorber problem. Which springs where they?

I think there's 3 types of rear springs: for nivomat absorbers, for regular absorbers, and heavy duty for regular absorbers for heavy loading and towing.

Hi - not sure - maybe springs not seated correctly?

sorry not to answer, but I'd like to know how you did your rear spring change - ie, did you need a spring compressor?

And if so, what type (internal or external)

Thanks

Not sure as my mate put them on down his garage

Hi Did your mate forget to put the shocks back in ?
How did the car feel before you had the new springs fitted, why did you fit new springs
Dave

Yes shocks in , he is a mechanic , ride was ok until I used the boot ,springs had gone weak

Hi I would say the shocks may have gone week,
unless the new springs have been made wrong ,
Dave

There is a difference in the ride height of about 1" , higher
Any preference on what make shock to go for

rebound damping failiure new shocks will cure it:regular_smile:
