squirmy suspension
Been meaning to post this for a while and finally getting around tuit...
The suspension on my '86.5 16V is, well, squirmy. You know that squirm you
feel when driving over a metal grille bridge on a motorcycle?? Kinda feels
like that.
History: I bought the car a couple of months ago with 98k miles on it, with
Bilsteins of unknown age and some strange springs that the previous owner
warned me to ditch pronto, which I did. I had new H&R's installed by
VW Specialties. Ron Wood proclaimed the Bilsteins to be "fine". Also had
an alignment done and 2 bent rims fixed. So, all should be well, right?
It's much better, but it squirms - particularly noticeable on on- and
offramps.
I'm pretty certain it's not the tires, I have decent P700Z's with about 50%
left on them. Tire pressure is fine. It's nothing I can put a finger on.
Ideas? Suspension parts of some kind?? I'm systematically making this car
100% right and I'd like to get this fixed before moving on to the next part
of the project (interior & shift linkage bushings).
