#1: Rear Suspension VERY Stiff...? Author: A18NHH, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Fri Jun 26, 2015 2:48 pm ---- Hi all,
Car is a 2002 GTi 138 - it is lowered on the rear and the rear has always been stiff/harsh due to this but recently however it's become un-bearable - my assumption is the shock absorbers however on inspections there's no leaks....
Question is could it be anything else I could rule out before just changing the shocks?
Thanks in advance
