Shocks Goosed

:blink:

My front shocks are goosed, I'd been hearing a knocking noise for a while and having read other threads

I thought it was the strut top. But i took her in for a checkup and the doc says my drivers side shock is bust

and the passenger side will be sure to follow.

who thinks I should just bin them and get a nice set of coilovers??

Hi mate

I had the same problem but it was the passenger side!

Bought two new ones from this site!

Took just over 2hrs to change them over

Hi,

Are the shocks leaking fluid?

If its a knocking noise i wouldnt be so sure its the shocks,if the balance of the car is good and its not floatly it could be a ball joint or bush problem.

Chips..

It's definately leakin fluid so it's def the shock.

The handling on the car is terrible so I was gonna go for coilovers any way, just couldn't really afford to.

Now I have an excuse though! :D

Treats, are those uprated shocks or just standard replacements?

Definately a better price than I had thought! :)

hi mate,

There exactly the same make (KYB) as the originals. So id say standard replacements!

They come as a matching pair when bought and i'd say £108 delivered for a set, isnt a bad price at all.

Now if you just want one to get you through Your MOT i have a spare drivers side that you can have.

Then after the MOT get your self a nice set coilovers.

PM me if you want the shock.

Cheers for the offer bud, it's ok though, my mot aint for a couple of months so I should be able to save enough for a set by then. I hope! :D

Ok, mate no worries.

i just didnt have much coin to spend on her at the time of the MOT after havin 4 new tyres. So buying the replacement shocks was the cheapest option.
