Thanks for the report Kerry. I ordered a pair of shocks from Bus Boys this morning and will probably install them this weekend. By the way, Bus Boys has these shocks for $45 each versus $275 each at dealers, including Camelback (formerly Paul Wasser). This is the biggest VW dealer scam I've heard of! -Mark McCulley ---------- >From: Kerry G.

Well I finally finished replacing the front shocks on my '86 Syncro. Not the easiest in the world, but doable. Bentley describes the process fairly well. I also replaced my front rotors/pads at the same time although each part can be replaced independently. The only special tool I used was the spring compressor.
