B*** s*** !!
Never heard of anyone with shock problems in combination with towbar /
caravan / boat etc.
And I do know a few constrution workers that pull over max loads
50000km/year with a 156 1.9 & 2.4JTD
1.9JTD has been choosen "pull car of the year" in The Netherlands!!
With the 2.4JTD you'll pull everything within limits.
Limits:
1300kgs for 1.6 / 1.8 / 2.0 / 1.9JTD
1400kgs for 2.5V6 / 2.4JTD
