  1. VW CC Technical Forum
    My 2012 CC started making a "groaning" noise when Im turning the wheel to park. Not when moving so I don't believe it a CV joint. Could this be the upper strut mount bushing?

  3. Golf Owners Club
    Hello! I have a 2017 Golf Alltrack that has about 4,000 miles. The left front strut is defective and the dealer is going to replace it, apparently they have had other Alltracks with the same problem, and they're wondering if VW is going to issue a recall. However, everthing I know and hear...

  8. MK1 Rabbit Suspension
    I recently bought a set of KYB strut cartridges to replace my old ones. The tubes (not shaft) are slimmer than the stock ones up front. Assembling and using seems very dangerous. There is no solid seat at the bottom, the dust cap and spring seats are compatible with the swap. (part #361005)...

    Hello- I'm trying to get the A/C in my '82 Caddy working correctly. I can hot-wire the compressor to engage and blow out cold A/C. However- I'm just having a difficult time with getting the compressor the +12v it needs to engage. Here is what I have traced: Compressor>RED WIRE>Thermostat...

  11. Jetta / Bora MK4 / 1999-2004
    My daughter has a 2004 Jetta 2.0 with150k miles. We bought this vehicle at about 138k and it was obvious not much had been replaced. Looking at putting a set of front struts and rear shocks on the car very soon. Any particular brands that you would recommend (standard OEM, KYB, Bilstein, etc.)...
  12. VW CC Technical Forum
    Also looking for feedback on who's having good experiences with what strut. My car is at 40,000 miles. Only certain waves/dips/bumps in the road ways give a feeling the front end bounce a bit too much. So just looking to learn some product knowledge. Is there an upgraded strut that folks...
  13. Golf MK1 / 1975-1983 (EURO)
    Hi, the video gives you a tutorial how to replace the front shock absorbers at the Golf Mk1. The repair is very similar for all MacPherson struts: The video has a German sound track, but English subtitles are added to YouTube. If you don't see them by default, watch the video directly at...

    Hello, I am looking for some Bilstein Sport Strut Insert Cartridges (Part # 34-184530 or P30-0032). I would prefer used cartridges as I plan to have them rebuilt, but I would also take new old stock for the right price. Thanks, Han

  16. VW CC Technical Forum
    I just got my first ever VW and it's a 2010 CC Lux with 63k miles on it. I'm hearing noises, road noises mostly, from my driver side rear strut. I might just be sensitive because my previous car (Civic) had strut issues and I had to change all 4 eventually. Then again the sound isn't always...

  19. Passat B5 Forums
    Howdy, I'm new to this forum. I need to replace my front upper control arm on the right side. I have studied the Haynes manual, and I can't figure out why it needs to be so complicated. Can't I just remove both bolts (inner and outer) that hold the arm without removing the entire strut...
