Subject says it all..
I have owned the car since May and the suspension has ground me down, finally totally fed up with the bangs, knocks and thuds as I drive down pretty good roads.
When I drive down bumpy roads with the odd pot hole etc, it is unbearable !!
Had it checked out twice now, once at the MOT and once since, and it would appear that other than a rusting flange on the front roll bar everything is fine. There are no broken springs, overly worn bushes etc.
Most of the anoyance is actually coming from the rear, although the front isn't much better!!
So, what can I do to improve it, all I am after is a quiet smooth ride down normal roads ?
I am not interested in lowering or anything like that, I just want to improve on the standard suspension and make the thing bearable to actually drive.
Do any of you other Mk4 drivers suffer from similar suspension issues?
Having said that I actually love the car, goes well, handles well stops well etc, but I have to say the anoying knocky suspension has finally got to me.
I would be interested to hear what you guy's think ?
