I never liked this, but I couldn't figure out how to undo it. Anyway, I took it to a local shop earlier this week and had it raised to factory height. All seemed good until I came home from work today. I hit a small bump in the road at about 30mph and the steering wheel started shuddering, so much so that I could not hold it in place (the car was still going straight fine, not pulling to either side). I pulled over, thinking that one of my tires was coming off, but all seemed okay. I started out again and the same thing happened on the next bump. I slowed down to maybe 5 mph and it stopped and I was able to accelerate again. As long as the road is smooth everything is fine. I just got home now and looked under the car a bit, the steering dampner is attached, there's nothing I can see falling off, but I don't really know what to look for. Has anyone experienced this problem before? Do you know what I should be looking! > for? Any advice would be appreciated. > Sounds like a bad steering damper, or a loose upper sway bar. Also possibel that they left something loose when the put it back together. I wouldn't drive it to far without finding out. Talk to the people that raised it back up. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
