ABS Problem / Suspension

Hi, a while ago, I asked a question about my Audi A3, which had poor braking. The ABS system would briefly activate, followed by reduced braking performance, requiring increased pedal pressure, which would then cause the vehicle to brake hard. However, it didn't exhibit the usual "anchoring" effect. Pretty much everyone suggested the shock absorbers were the problem, but a test by the ADAC didn't confirm this. Regardless, the ABS and braking system, as well as the tires, were in perfect condition. So, it must have been the suspension. After almost two months of waiting, the Bilstein B6 Sport shock absorbers finally arrived. On an online auction platform, I also acquired four almost new feathers for my model (Ambition Sport feathers and 1.. The Audi dealer further supplemented this with new triangular suspension bush, new front and rear suspension mounts, Stabilus stabilizers, and rear shock absorbers. I didn't want a coilover suspension, as it's already low enough, otherwise I'd be scraping in every rut in winter. A car should actually drive. I am very satisfied with the handling, acceptable comfort, and precise handling (to Rainer K.: the steering column ring has been working perfectly for 25,000 km - Thanks). The braking performance is fantastic again, and the strange behavior of the ABS is also gone.

Hi,
A shock absorber test isn't always conclusive. I once had a problem with a company car, a Passat from around 1996 with 250,000 km, which drove very poorly and was actually dangerous. It tended to make the front axle wobble when accelerating on a wet road, etc. After a lot of complaining, our mechanic took it for a test drive: Everything was OK!
Fortunately, the car is now being sold.
