Mk 7 hard front suspension

Postby Niall » Wed May 16, 2007 11:27 am

Any other people getting jarred to bits with the front suspension of their new SWB mk7?
Getting to like the new van (although it has a lack of go compared to my old 125)but i feel every bump in the road :cry:

Thats gay i hate that.. back end of my 280SWB was the same - , new shocks calmed it a bit but that was on an 80k one..

Its an obvious one but how are your tyre pressures ? roll em down to low 40's if your not carrying much load & switch tyre makes on your next change.
