Hi all,
I'm fairly sure I need new shocks for my VW Passat(02). I assume it's better to get them all replaced at the same time. Does anyone know how much I should reasonably expect to pay at my local garage?
Should I try and source the parts myself from the internet and just get the garage to do the fitting?

I'm fairly sure deleted would recommend you replace them all, which is total is a total rip off get advice from a reputable mechanic and only replace if needed

what makes you think you need them,would be surprised if a three year old did.Ps when is MOT due or has it already gone through??

just been throught MOT, but starting to bounce quite hard on left side I think, which is causing twitchy steering. It's got 72k on the clock
|
Or maybe the twitchy steering is just purely down to the slipperly road conditions?

I would seriously recommend you fit OE shocks sourced from a VW dealer even if you get an indie to fit them. Don't go for cheap aftermarket items, though Bilsteins are very good (might even be OE on this car). And don't fit adjustables - you're almost certain to adjust them wrong!!!
