metalmonkey47 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Have you tried adjusting the belt to it's proper tension first? :P Yup, It's right where FSM says it should be.

metalmonkey47 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 did lots 'o stuff today. Started out with this: then got to putting in some bed liner in the back to seal it in a little better after I stripped it down and primed it.. Then cut down a tree: Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Replace those gas struts! Super easy to do. Go the JY and find similar length ones, or maybe your Autozone has some like mine does. We replaced them in my friends scirocco and it made it so much nicer! Quote Link to comment

I'm waiting on some tax money to come back to me so I can do a full suspension It's on the to do list after I get the rest of the drivetrain components. Quote Link to comment

No, not suspension. I meant for the hatch. Why I quoted that particular photo. Quote Link to comment

I was wondering how you knew the rear end was sagging. I'm gonna order some one of these days. I just don't see the need for spending the money at the moment when theres so many more things on the car that need attention. Quote Link to comment

Makes things so nice, that is if you use it much. I completely agree with motor first and then suspension in your case. You need to keep the car running, its your DD. You can still drive at a high height and bad shocks. Quote Link to comment

Local wanted like...$10 for some? IIRC. brand new are $16 through RockAuto when I last checked. I couldn't justify spending the money when it's only a few buck more for brand new ones. I don't use it much since I can reach stuff from the front, but I'll do it one day. Edited March 15, 2011 by metalmonkey47 Quote Link to comment
