I have a 2005 Golf Outback caravan and trying to find details of the
suspension for an upgrade does anybody have any technical detail or know where to find some?

Hi Rusty,
What is your van doing or not doing in regards to
suspension?
Offroad van
suspension is generally over engineered. It is pretty tough stuff as long as you are not leaping off mountains with it.
If stability either on or off road is your issue, than shocks are your first port of call. Most issues with
suspension are caused by shock absorber failure. Second take a look at all your bushing. Springs and control arms don't often have issues unless they have been damaged. It is not wise to raise ride heights on vans as the change in your centre of gravity doesn't end
well.
I am only guessing at what your issues are and have just touched on some common solutions to common issues, which you would already looked into.
If can give me more details about what is actually going on or what you want to achieve, I may be able to help in more detail.
Cheers, Peter (
