So I just discovered that after I got VWR springs installed I was getting a clunking noise when going over bumps on the front driver side. I took it to a regular mechanic fearing with the springs installed I'd get warrantee issues with the car anyway at VW. He discovered a puck on each side that had not been removed. He interpreted this as a plastic strut stopper and thought that it might be best to replace with a rubber stopper....I suggested the possibility of these being the suspensions blocks and he said driving the car would be terrible with them still in. I feel I got away with for so long (20,000) because I only have one on either side instead of 3. What bullshit. I want to deal with vw...I bought my car as a CPO car and it still didn't have the stoppers removed. Do you guys think I have anything else to worry about. Clunking noise is gone for now, do I need any type of strut stoppers?
are these also in the back or only the front? I want to make sure they are all gone.
Off topic...you really should get a better mechanic. There are factory foam bump stop located on the top of the strut just under the strut mount.
