This 4 part series shows how to lower the rear end of the VW Type 3 with independent rear suspension. This video may also apply to other VW models with a similar setup. You can view the support thread at this link.. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=222251
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.
i want to do this to my porsche 924
