I drove it around the block and something definately seems wrong. I am going to the dealer thursday for the cluster recall/replacement and I was going to have an alignment, however I am afraid to have it aligned. Since its not "tight". I mean if I hit a bump wont it go down? AhhhhhhhggggggG!

That top cap is just there to keep the suspension fom dropping out of the car when you go airborne. It's a cost saving design, but VWhas used it for years.

I triple checked it. I actually took both sides all the way back apart and checked them twice now, since the initial build. I feel much better with you guys saying that. John thats a sweet color by the way. R8 in Aviator Grey would be my dream replacement for my 2001 225QC Aviator grey TT

Oh I see you have the best color too R8 would look spectacular in aviator

that makes you suspect there is a problem? If there is an issue, you have not posted any symptoms that would help us identify it yet...
