The rear of my 6 is getting very light and twitchy under heavy braking! I've been told I need solid rear mounts or beams! The car is stripped out for track and so the back is very light! I'm a bit of a novice still with the 306. Can anyone point me it the right direction! |

I can't honestly say how much its been lowered but I would guess 50mm or so. I'm running AVO shocks which are tightened up to the full. I never even thought to loosen them up. Only one track day done and this is my only handeling concern. |

Your rear end woes could be a number of things, tired mounts are most likely, so new OE ones or solids are your best bet there. You may also have a shagged rear beam itself. This usualkly manifests itself as a knocking sound and can be seen as excessive camber on the rear wheels as the bearings wear. If you are around the 100k mark chances are all of the rear suspension would benefit from a refresh.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

There is definitely no knocking from the rear. Seeing as the car only ever see's track I dunno about the tyre wear situation. I also don't know what work has been done!When looking under the rear... where are the mounts you talk about? I'm not used to this rear set-up at all. Its very alien to me! I'm usually found under vw's |

I'm usually found under vw's The mounts can be found living on top of the rear subframe, there are four of them and they allow the rear trailing arms to move around providing a little passive rear steer, they get a little unpredictable when old and past their best though. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
