Car feeling abit unstable

[SoVeReIgN]

Over bumps/uneven road surfaces, and overall not as tight as it use to be.

I'm guessing the bump stops(?) / bushes are rooted, the car has plenty of kms on it now and some done with lowered suspension.

I'm looking on ECS, what kits have you guys used for your Mk4 GTIs?

I'm wondering whether there is some play in the steering rack also - What else wears out over time/kms ?

I don't drive the car much these days so I want it feeling good when I do get in it.

Front wishbone bushes don't last well. Have a look at them first.

Get ones from the MK1 TT/S3/R32 They are solid rubber rather than the ones with cutouts in my pictures.

Dont be tempted with poly

I've got the following on the way from the US:

Today, I ordered the following:

* 1 x ECS MK4 Golf / Jetta / New Beetle Front Suspension Refresh Kit - Stage 2
* 2 x Upper Strut Stop
* 2 x Upper Stut Cap-Priced Each
* 1 x "Short Reach" Triple Square Driver Set
* 1 x Spindle Housing Spreader Tool

The whole lot cost me $530 landed here. I arranged the purchase through www.priceusa.com.au - saved myself about $50 on shipping compared to ECS. VW in Australia wanted $330 per side just for the tie rods. And if you order the TT version of the LCA bushes from Audi rather than the R32 version from VW, there's a ~40% markup (for the same part!)...

Yeah cool I spotted that stage 2 suspension pack, i'm thinking I might go for it minus the strut top mounts + bearings as seb replaced those when he put the new suspension in not long ago.
Hopefully ECS will take a few dollars off, I think I paid $150+ for the mounts+bearings from VW
