Thanks but all sorted now, got the front struts and springs from a two year old T6 with approx 20k for £50 then got new top mounts, bearings and drop links. Purchased new rear springs from VW and got new Bilstein rear dampers and rubbers, great ride now. Old rear dampers were dead. I also changed the front and rear anti-roll bar bushes. Drives like new now!Hi, did you get sorted? I have just changed mine, have the correct front markings but no markings on the rears
ooh! that would have transformed the van ride and handling. IMHO bushes are a must to change after about 5 to 6 years, max 10. I am looking at upgrading to polybushes. more adjustment and longer lasting.Thanks but all sorted now, got the front struts and springs from a two year old T6 with approx 20k for £50 then got new top mounts, bearings and drop links.
