Two things to check first: Check your steering damper to make sure that it, and the bushings on BOTH ends are in good shape and snug. Grab a front wheel at the top and try to shake it from side to side. If you can feel more than a tiny bit of sideplay in the suspension you may have a loose sway bar connection to the UL trailing arm. If this has come loose you'll want to fix it before parts damage one another. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
