Rear handling

(1/2) > >>

Red one:
 :driver: I recently had a  rear suspension  referb, but now when I turn fast right hand corners the car skips about, left corners are fine any ideas people?

Clarky:
Take the car back to where you had the refurb done would be my first suggestion.....sounds odd.

mjmallia:
Were the trailing arms done.....often overlooked as they are buried away?

Mine were shot and any bump would make the car feel twitchy even with the Eibachs and Bilstein shocks.  Poly bushed them and the car was really solid in bends again.....better than I remember

If something is worn, it becomes more highlighted when other parts are upgraded/refreshed

Red one:
It’s going back, and they may have admitted that they didn’t do the trailing arm bushes , maybe it’s that?

pudding:
It's easier to buy the whole arm with bush as it's only £35ish per side, but there appears to be two flavours of trailing arm listed on Lemforder's site for the same car if you put your reg in:

37016 01 = Left - 1K0 505 223 K
37017 01 = Right - 1K0 505 224 K

38040 01 = Left - 3C0 505 223 E
38039 01 = Right - 3C0 505 224 E

I guess you'll have to climb under the car in the wind and rain to see what shape you've got!
