RichG60 0 Posted January 29, 2010 Hi guys, I want to change my suspension back to normal struts (have koni coilovers at present) and need to make up a list of parts required. I've read there are differences between the plates. Can any one enlighten me? I literally don't have any of the orginal parts that make up the struts. I have been on vagcat and looked at the parts required but want to be certain they are correct. I think my car is an early model converted to late spec interior etc. Cheers Rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted January 29, 2010 top mounts for pre 92 cars use the 88-92 passat type all-in-one bearing and rubber mount, then the spring top plate and spring match. Later cars use the separate bearing and mount at the top with a different spring plate and spring, the springs and top plates did change again in the post 92 production run so you need matching springs and top plates with protective bellows and nut/bush on the top of the spring plate. Either complete setup is fine on any age of car. earlyC.jpg[/attachment:1wvm1ucd] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdflateC.jpg[/attachment:1wvm1ucd] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
