Need Shocks looked at, where should i go?
Hi there,
I wanted to get someone to look at the shocks on my square, where should i take it? Would a place like pedders or something be ok or would i have to
take it to a vw specific place?
Thanks
Pete

Pedders have a machine that can check Your shock absorbers while they are on the car...
they have $10 ?? suspension check
but normally, You take a shock off and see if its OK...
if its the oil type - it should be hard to pull up and push down...
Gas type will extend as soon as you take it off the car..
If it shows it has a leak... renew it...
or take Your car to a VW mechanic or shop
only two bolts hold them on...
cheers

Just try and get something like the originals. Don't get gas a/c car is too light and gas would be too hard. I think that maybe std shocks from
beetles may fit. Check Vintage's web site.
