RW1 0 Posted October 21, 2011 1995 16v. Runing a standard OEM suspension or modified, if modified how? Just shocks or lowered? . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan H 10 Posted October 21, 2011 1995 indeed , on Weitec coilovers , with oem 15in wheels , 195/50 15s . but only dropped about 30mm . it has a tendency to pull to the left , and to tramline over white lines . Going onto the lift this evening to have a good prod at all the suspension bushes and then re-align it . Just wondering are the settings from VW the best? I know on my old IS200 that the Lexus ones used to eat tires off... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Big personal preference thing really. I always tend to go paralell on the front toe and a degree or so negative on the front camber. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan H 10 Posted October 21, 2011 cheers Jay , that's kinda what I had in mind for a FWD-er , and then trim the toe in or out after a few weeks depending on how the tires are wearing . I'd be aiming for a half degree neg each side...is that what you mean by a degree of neg , or did you mean a degree each side? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted October 21, 2011 I tend to run 1 degree negative each side minimum. Always found it helps when you load the front end up a bit. Tyre wear is pretty much always down to toe, which, assuming all the bushes etc are good, is why I run paralell. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan H 10 Posted October 21, 2011 well , figures are gone out the window .... I need a LHS inner tie rod , and a RHS rear wishbone bush! Fit to fall out of it! OOPs..... One of the rear axle ones is a little tired looking too.... What are the best bushes to replace them with ? OEM , ones from other VAG cars , or Poly? Bear in mind its mostly country roads.

24V Renshaw 0 Posted October 21, 2011 I would go all OEM apart from the front wishbones, where I would put R32 ones in the back of the wishbone and powerflex in the front of the wishbone. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least if they found that much wrong with it that explains the handling - do all the bushes as above and it will be great! Assume it's been a while since the MOT too?

Jay what exatly makes the R32 ones better , are they stiffer? At least if they found that much wrong with it that explains the handling - do all the bushes as above and it will be great! Assume it's been a while since the MOT too? Found all that myself! S'funny , it's not all that long since it was tested......someone musta known someone in the test centre... is this 8N0407181B the bush part/number?
