Replacing Golf Suspension Strut
SeanStone - 25/1/12 at 08:20 AM

Looking to replace my front left suspension strut (no oil left in current one!)

Found a fairly cheap one on ebay but it is from the 90hp version, where as i have the 115hp (mk4). Are they interchangable?

go to scottish vag and ask dont think mk3 and mk four mix. And the gti ones are always beefer and more expensive


Im looking for shockers for a mk3 gti for my pal

Both are from a mk4

Also keep in mind that if the left strut has worn out then the right one won't be too far behind. I'd look to replace both at the same time to avoid upsetting the handling, braking etc.

Left hand always goes first cause that's the consequence of driving on the left. I'm seeing coil over kits for 150 all round

Very true Mango, but the other side's never that far behind and from experience it can really upset the balance only replacing one side.
