    Does the Bora 4Mo have rear upper shock mounts?

    I ask the question because i can't find the matching part for the mk4 R32 (as i usually use that as a reference for suspension stuff on ECS as the USDM Bora was FWD.

    So, are these available for the 4Mo Bora cause i have a nasty rear suspension knock/rattle and it is driving me batty.

    in fairness, these could have gone as well - but how can you tell what the heck is actually making the noise?

    I had the sway bar bushing checked (albeit a cursory glance) when i had some rubber changed.

    Negative, our cars in the rear run a tube shock like seen here Volkswagen R32 MKIV 3.2 > Suspension > Shocks > ES#1831819 Sport Shock - Yellow (Rear) - 80-2818

    Thus the rubber mount/shock isolator is in the shock itself and it is attached to the chassis via a bolt that goes straight through each end.

    The spring isolators *could've* gone but the spring is held captive at full extension so i doubt it'd be wriggling around. Maybe check for loose bolts in the rear, loose exhaust hanger bolts, loose anything!

    thanks dude. yeah, maybe not the spring isolators cause the sound is there on all kinds of bumps and road surfaces. Probably a dodgy install on my shocks (yes, from me sure, but they shocks were 800kms old when i got them so maybe a bad install or even part failure?). It is bugger me annoying though!!!
