Hi all, I decided to change the rear shocks on my 99 Classic. When I removed the old shock, the upper spring plate was in a really bad way so I ordered a new one but it didn't come with the the spring seat (which was in a bad state as well). I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the upper spring seat (number 9 on the diagram attached).
Can anyone recommend a supplier that will stock these? Thanks, Barry

Re: Rear Shock Absorbers
You might find this site useful to get part numbers
https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/polo ... 11-511010/
and then a quick google for the part number should get some useful sources
At the moment online is probably going to be easier than local motor factors or dealers

That's brilliant - thank you so much! It would be so much simpler if you could just buy the whole unit, shock absorber, spring and all
Re: Rear Shock Absorbers
Did you find a replacement for number 9? It seems to be a part that is longer stocked anywhere that i have looked.
Re: Rear Shock Absorbers
Long shot, but I need the exact same parts after trying to replace the rear springs and find the same parts in a bad way, but really struggling to find part no.9 which i think the upper rubber spring mount...
