Own an '05 tdi with 75,000 mi. Owned it since brand new. I had a '99 before that and the suspension on that was just really hard and horrible. When I bought this TDI I remember the test drive and I couldn't believe how smooth the suspension was. Now 75,000 miles later I feel like I'm driving the '99 agian. I also hear a loud hum at certain speeds coming from the rear of the car. I'm assuming this is road noise due to the shocks needing to be replaced.
So here are the questions: Can I do this myself? If I bought the shocks/struts on Eaby and just jacked the car up, would it be pretty straight forward? I usually do all of my own work on all my cars, but this beetle scares me a little. Is there anything I should know?
