Hi,

I hit a big pot hole at the weekend and it appears that the rear right hand wheel is a lot lower than the left side (checked the gap to arch) and the cars not handling too well. I've got it booked in at a non-Audi dealer after hearing it could break the bank completely using an Audi dealer. It's a 2003 car.

Am i likely to need to replace suspension bits ? The whole lot ?

What are the cost implications here ?

I have read Bilsteins are the way to go, not too fussed about lowering the car, just something reliable, how much would they be to fit as well ?

Probably an impossible one to answer here as it could be anything. Is there anyone near Effingham / Leatherhead that i could take the car too for a top job ?

Thanks for any help

Paul

sorry, just found the notify button

Mine too went today, oil everywhere, from right rear lol

want to go coil overs too,

go see grizz at unit 20 for h&r coilovers and ARB

KW V3 or Bilstien PSS9 both work great and are reliable, i fitted KW for a customer 3 weeks ago his bill was £1500 +VAT fitted,PSS 9`s are dearer

Got H&R's in stock if you want to go......PM me for more info.

Hi Paul,
I am in same situation, rear shocks gone

Audi garage said 500 to 600 each and then actuator valves (?) would probably need changing at 600 each then labour - so I didnt bother with them.

Then took to a local VW Audi specialist who QUOTED ME 1k TO DO BOTH SHOCKS and front struts ; did other work but didnt have tool to remove shocks so didnt do them - IDIOTS!

At moment options are to change to Bilsteins all round at 2K - Grizz here thinks their rubbish (I think?) or to keep looking round. Have got a couple of localish companies will be trying next week.

This has been going on for over a month now so good luck to you and let me know if you get any good advice or results.

The pss9's are a very good unit , They tend to be hard to get hold of.

I have PSS9s in stock. We like them, they are a good road kit and work well for the occasional track day. They have a good range of adjustment but not too many!

The damping is much better than the basic entry level PSS and H&R kit.
