Is your suspension really soft? Does your car have bad handling? Did you have an advisory for slight misting of oil on your shock absorbers? It might be time to change them!

“If you own a Mk7 VW Golf you may notice your rear suspension has started to get noisy. Drivers have been reporting an annoying knocking noise from the rear of the car. We understand this affects Mk7 Golfs with multilink rear suspension.
