Shock absorbers Rough Country or OEM Volkswagen

Side note, the wife's 12 tig has a rear shock going out. Factory shock/struts with aftermarket H&R sport springs. Those factory shocks lasted 100k miles with the shorter springs!!

Well got the Bus back from the shop. Among other things we got the following done.. -New shocks Bus runs quite nicely now.

I think it is very likely that your low front end is caused by the wrong shocks being installed for the heavy W8 engine.

A quick bench test revealed the damping rate of the replacement shocks to feel approximately twice that of the originals, which were way too soft even for daily driving over bad surfaces.

Better than my trash rough country ones

The only part to go bad was the rear shocks at 56K.

My wife had gone to the dealer because she felt she had no brakes. In addition to the brake job, they also replaced all 4 shocks and 2 front top plates and right and left front ball joints.

Took our new 2024 North American model Tiguan in for maintenance as there is a clear hard clunk from front suspension going over bumps. I know from experience this is the rebound setting failing and the shocks hitting the lowers hard enough to shudder the steering.

15K later and all my RC shocks really do is keep my springs from falling out when flexing. Otherwise, they do nothing.

N3s are garbage, they rode so bad I thought I was going to wreck the truck, made the truck walk all over the road at any little bump. I ended up buying a set of bilstein 5100s and the truck rides great now. 2016 4x4 crew short
