VW Golf Worn Suspension Mounts - andrew4
Hi All

I have a 1991 VW Golf (81,000 miles, 1300cc).
I have noticed that the rubber bushes on the rear axle beam mounts are beginning to split. These are the original rubber bushes.
Is this a safety problem?
Do these have have to be replaced?

Yes they will fail an MOT and you may notice that under heavy braking the car is not staying in a straight line due to the rear bean twisting out of line depending on the rear wheel traction. Regards Peter
