Hi everyone
Last month I changed all shocks (front Bilstein b4, rear Monroes), top mounts, drop links, and arb bushes (springs looked fine). However, I am getting more and more fed up with the ride comfort. Minor bumps an dips feel like hitting boulders, whereas in other cars driving down the same road, they feel fine.
It's so bad that the rear-view mirror moves quite often when hitting what are usually minor potholes, and I'm concerned I might even damage the alloys/shocks, it really is that crashy. Being a light car I'm not expecting much, but I'm only young and fearing for my poor back already! ? It seems to be getting worse over time too, but that could just be me getting more frustrated about it.
It's a tdi 90 on 16" 5 spokes.
Does anyone have any ideas for things to check / change that might improve the ride?
Thank you!
