this really helped me out today when i finally decided to tackle this job (after watching all 4 videos about 3 times lol) only problem i had was every thing was happy where it was after 40 years and didnt want to move. dont laugh but it took me 8.5 hours to do one side. the other side should go much smoother since i now know what to do if the same thing happens
again thanks for the step by step videos on this project
Should remember to mark the trailing arms position in the spring plate in order to set the correct toe angle during reassembling . He didn't mention that and its very important to do so.
Thank you so much! I have been searching for step by step instructions for MONTHS so I can lower and raise my bug the right way, and I couldnt find anything. This is so great. Thank you. Keep it up!
i want to do this to my porsche 924
