[Vwdiesel] Rear shocks 91 ECO Jetta

[Bryan Belman]

I would say this is a spring issue, not shocks, or a
little of both, no?

regualar shocks do not hold the car up, they only stop
it from flopping around.

I think you need new springs as these A2 jetta's
commonly sag after years.  With 20 gallons of WVO, for
sure going to sag.

Agree?
