vRS Front Shock change

Featured Replies

Does vag have a special tool for front shock removal ? Something for widening the lower mount ? I dont know the right name for the tool, but i hope you got the point.

I used a chisel or a screwdriver.

you shouldnt need to widen it too much though

I had some major problems when i changed to coilovers half a year ago. OEM shocks wese so tight even i spreaded the lower mounts. Now i need to remove both front shocks because KW´s jammed pretty badly.

The hubs arent that flexible and could snap if you spread them too much.

But other than spreading it more with a larger chisel etc i cant say.

Have u got any pictures?

No i dont have any. I had to remove the driveshaft from the passenger side because the shock was so damn tight and there was no room anymore. Maybe there is no issues with KW coilovers, time will show :)

Multi spline thingy about 22mm or 25mm then it comes apart with VAG hub spreader.
