I’ve had a clunking in the rear over bumpy road or surfaces for about a year now. I decided to replace all suspension components on the rear as the cars on 140k now and I thought it was knackered bushings but it wasn’t.
Took the rear wheels off and inspected the shocks only find the either the quality of stance plus isn’t very good or they are not suitable for tdi fr weight load. They lasted about 2 years and there’s big contact patches on the bump stops and when sat on all 4 wheels only around an inch of travel left. I think it’s been bottoming out.

can someone recommend a good rear shock and spring combo please, car is dropped 35mm all round and I can’t go lower due to drive shafts and arb.

happy with a firm ride but fed up of clunking

cheers
