Just recently I took the old car to the garage for a service. They said it
looks as if the rear shocks have gone due to what they called "feathering"
of the inside of the tyre. I though I could do this myself and changed these
out without any problems. Now, would you believe that when I go over a bump,
say a speed bump I can hear a wrenching sound of rubber on metal. If I
loosen up quite drastically the nut on the trailing arm the noise goes away.
Hmmm what's up?

The only thing I can think of is that they are the wrong type because I
overheard the woman at the parts place say, "yeah, they are the same as a
GTI" ?

I will obviously take them back if one of you guys can confirm otherwise.

P.S a day later the heater matrix packed in, took a day off work to replace.
Started at 7am finished at 3pm :-(

Thanks
