Rear Shock Absorber Question

Dec 27, 2003 2 Replies

Hi Everyone & Merry Christmas...



I just installed a set of new Bilstein shocks on the Beetle, but I am drawing a blank....should the lower shock mounting bolts rest on the rubber bushing, or should they have a washer in between? I don't recall there being one (a washer) when everything was taken apart, and the Bentley manual doesn't show a clear image....Any Ideas???



Thanks,



Pete



The lower rubber bushing should have a metal sleeve insert which will take it to a dead stop when you tighten the bolt.
