Dblock Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Are you buying new? Isn't it good practise to replace both sides?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambaron1 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Its off a breaking one. Thats probably a good point to replace both as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Are you doing the job yourself of kit labour wise it might be cheaper to just get new? What if these ones only last 10k miles. You checked the eBay and euro car parts route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambaron1 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Would i need to buy two of them bilstein ones though? Rather then keeping one old original one and then a new aftermarket one or will it not matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Even if you was replacing it with a vw part I'd still change both sides. Wear and tear will affect it. Plus bilstein might be the oem manufacture of shocks for vw? Or was it Sachs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
