Rear springs white (RL) information
Hello everybody,
I'am still going through issues with harsh ride on my manual CDT. I have completely refurb front and rear suspension over last 1,5 year but I still missing the "magic carpet" feel. Far far away from that. Have changed all 4 engine mounts too. But I still have some knocks on take off and lift off. No knocks when I hit some potholes however. I have no idea what to change now Only one desperate idea: I have bought rear springs by Rimmers in huge sale (WHITE COLOUR CODE, RL). It was stated they are for diesel. In this time I didnt know about the C.I. codes so I bought them instead of RB PINK COLOUR - which should be originaly fitted. The car is sitting visually a lot higher at the rear end. So, could be the harsh ride due wrong springs fitted ? Does anybody have some information about WHITE RL springs (some measures etc), because they seems to be a bit generic to me. The PINK ones should have 277,5 mm of free lenght. Will anybody help me with this discomfort ? Thanks |

Knocking could be the lower engine mount but if you have changed that still worth a check up. Also have a look at the front arm rear bushes for wear, after that for knocking on take up and lift off your looking at the drive train.
What size wheels are you running on?

The lower arms and their bushes are from DMGRS, I dont want to believe they are shot after 10 months again Last edited by Kamil93; 12th July 2021 at 13:25.. |

Assuming you have checked the drop links, but as you will know these are notorious for failing but tend to show more on pot holes / uneven ground.

Only by hand tbh stocktake. It's not the knock but the overall feel what is driving me nuts. It's like Flinstones' cart. Like nobody has ever change one single part. Car is hard as hell. The engine mounts did the biggest difference.
I'll check the droplinks again. Last edited by Kamil93; 12th July 2021 at 14:25.. |

I have read that the measurement from rear wheel centre to the wheel arch above should be about 400 mm on a 75 . How does yours compare to that ?

I have a feeling my rear springs on my CDT are Green White.
