New or 2nd hand front shocks 4 Soarer?? Wed, 09 April 2003 08:14 Go to next message
My front shocks are shagged. The front right is leaking and they are making noises now.

I haven't got the greatest mechanical head....so where can I get my hands on a pair? I will go new or good 2nd hand. Or should I get mine re-gassed/ oiled or what ever they do?

They are the standard Twin Turbo coil springs with that Electronic thing-i-mi-jig on the strut tower. I don't want to go any "performance" ones as I think I like the idea of soft suspension.

I live close to Melbourne and will be there next week to get an overhaul done. Name of places will be great!

Thanks guys

Steve

PS: 2nd hand shocks can be just as bad as your old ones. I always go new for stuff like shocks.

Thanks mate but i'm sorry but I have no idea what KYB inserts are???

And where would I get them from?

Would my ride stay soft or go hard?

I just replaced all four of mine with new KYB items. Ride is nice & firm, but not bumpy.
The front pair cost me around $240. Installed them myself.

try your local pedders store.

i had a similiar problem with my cressida items.

they rebuilt mine and made them height adjustable.

their factory is in victoria and the prices are very reasonable.

KYB are a brand of replacement items. Pedders sell them aswell

all the best

shane.

If you don't mind me asking 1JZ-747....how much were the height adj ones? They sound very cool. And would they make the suspension both soft and hard depending on what setting you had it on? I really don't want another hard sprung car. Bye bye Mr. Super Low Kings springs....I should have taken the guys advice at the shop not to install them. Rolling Eyes
