Wiggling Gti - rocker8742 - 27-01-2017
Noticed recently the Gti is starting to wiggle.
It feels like there's a bit more play in the steering before getting any result and when going over bumps/hard corners it feels like the backend is coming around
It's not just me being over enthusiastic or slippery roads as its getting worse and doing it in places it never been an issue before.
I've not had a proper chance to look at it yet but wanted some advice about where to start.
And no, unfortunately haven't done a RWD conversion

Beam mounts?
RE: Wiggling Gti - Poodle - 27-01-2017
As above, sounds like classic beam mount symptoms.

if it has solid mounts id go for shit rear tyres on a damp road or an imbalance of the brakes or even using the brakes into the corner

It's weird though it's not so much on the brakes more when you plant it on the exit it almost feels like the rear left squats down and lifts the front up

check the rear dampers are ok, and that the beam isn't worn out.

I'd hope it's not the beam was a Steffens rebuild within the last 2 years

As said check your mounts especially the fronts they get over looked. Im not sure if chris fitted new when i built it for him.

Had a nose under last weekend, definitely solid mounts and I've got yet another goosed rear shock, that's now 2 on the same side in 7 months

What brand are they?
Wiggling Gti - rocker8742 - 10-02-2017
They're Koni adjustables

Koni yellows? Mine have been great and still look and feel as new, including after having been on sprints, prescott etc.
Strange!
Wiggling Gti - rocker8742 - 10-02-2017
Is a bit weird, although don't know what previous life they've had.
need to see how much Koni charge for a refurb and maybe set them a little stiffer
