they have front/rear HD springs for the Rabbit, might be better than than spacers. i want to raise my Rabbit bc i don't like my oil pan so close to the ground.

i need both strut assemblies w/ the strut mounts minus the springs and don't really need the inserts bc i want new OEM height and will use my springs. can you help? i have an 82 4 door rabbit

i need both strut assemblies w/ the strut mounts minus the springs and don't really need the inserts unless they are OEM height and i will use my springs. can you help? i have an 82 rabbit 4 door.

i got it all together after about 5 hours thanx to your post. i replaced the shaft seal as well as the cold start seals. i have an extra IP that i bought off of vortex if anyone is interested. from an 81 caddy i'm told. $80.00 shipped to your house w/in the states. deejaaa@yahoo.com

Hexar, i am working on my IP right now. just about ready to pull it off. will have to go get new fuel lines(rubber/clear) and i am following your post. did you get the white smoke cleared up?

was wondering if you've had a chance to look at the adjustment screws on the headlights yet, thanx

yeah i know. bad idea. i was just gonna check to see what all you guys thought. i just got the car last weekend. when i looked at it befoer i bouhgt it the pump leaked really badly but when i got it home and put a clutch in i drove just down the street a ways to test out the clutch and it didn't le...

I'll check the parts you are talking about, to see what shape they are in,... and if the A2 adjusters will fit a Rabbit.

they won't fit a rabbit right now, i am putting a jetta grille on her after i get the parts together. i'll take the 4 if they aren't broken.

i can use the adjustment screws for the headlights, the ones w/ the phillips head and square white plastic pieces, 2 per side. i just got the headlight/core support for my rabbit and one side was rigged. let me know if yes and price, in Tx 77520. deejaaa@yahoo.com

if you are willing to wait then you will find a 1.6 sitting somewhere. have you tried THESAMBA or Craigslist? there was a JY here local that would of sold me a complete 1.6 w/ trans for $300.00 if he hadn't crushed it and sent it off, probably could of got it for less, what a waste! my thought is if...

that helps a lot. how did you know it was just leaking at the cold start plate? did you change any of the other seals? im gonna get the parts next week. i take it the timing belt wasn't covered in diesel?i get a little over 50 mpg(miles, not km's) so i'm hoping they will go up after this fix.

i also had no idea about the length. when i bought my fox it had steelies w/ the castellated nuts but i had no problems. i got a set of alloys w/ the castellated nuts so i thought they were all the same. i'll get 4 spare shorties from the jy for my spare which is a steelie. i got a space-saver the o...

i did a search like 82vdub suggested and i came across your post, a good deal of info on it. did you end up changing the seals all by yourself and how much time did it take you from start to finish? how is it looking after the job as far as leaks go? did you get the other stuff fixed/replaced that y...

got it running @ 3 weeks ago and have a leak on the ip.
how hard is it to replace the seals to viton and where do i get instructions for the procedure and do i have to remove it to do this? would it be easier to buy a used one and just swap out?
