Managed to get springs sorted yesterday, Quite pleased with myself since it was the first time doing anything like this. Also, I decided to replace both sides in the end and the caps that they sit on as they were quite perished. Thanks again to those who posted advice.

Might sound like a silly question, but I bought these Sachs ones from Euro car parts, which way do they fit? They do seem to be very slightly flatter at one end than the other, do they sit as in the picture with the flatter end on the trailing arm or the other way around? When I've compared it to the original, there does not seem to be much in it at all. Thanks

Thanks, I'll check the shocks too.

Hi I bought one recently from amazon for my Audi, it's the right hand threaded one you need. Machine mart also sell them quite cheap too.

They seem ok, but how can I tell if they need replacing?

OK, thanks guys, I'll have ago at undoing the other side and hopefully this will lower it, makes sense now I guess, since the arb is connected to both arms. I like the idea of standing on the wheel, however don't think the wife would contemplate doing the bouncing. I did think of doing both sides, however it was another

Hi Folks My first time on here so please be gentle. I have a 2001 Sharan 1.9 tdi. The rear spring has snapped so need to replace this. I have undone the lower damper bolt, however, the trailing arm does not move any lower so I cant quite get the spring out. I notice that the arm is attached to the rear ARB. Do I need to undo this? I have searched the forum but cant see any mention of undoing it. Should the arm just lower by itself or is there something else i have missed? Thanks in advance.
