kevin 0 Posted August 27, 2003 since lowering my c approx 40mm and running on 17" i don't have much trouble with rubbing, but the exhaust seems to hit on the rear beam,any one overcome this :?: regards kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted August 27, 2003 Check the exhaust rubbers. With the stiffer ride it will put extra pressure on these and weak ones are likely to brake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Si B 0 Posted August 29, 2003 This is a common problem with all VWs. The exhaust runs over the trailing arm and if you increase the zorst diameter whilst lowering the car (i.e. moving the TA closer to the car underside) you reduce the clearance between the trailing arm and zorst. The zorst then bangs on the trailing arm. Don't waste money on Powerflex poly zorst bushes as they are a waste of time. Go for the chain filled rubbers that C&R do. They do not stretch at all, although this means you need to remove the hangers in order to fit them and then bolt the hangers back up with the rubbers in place. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
