Rear Shocks Replace or not?
-> 206 Problems

#1: Rear Shocks Replace or not? Author: A10PSW PostPosted: Thu Mar 07, 2013 9:54 am

Now that I have got my Axle off (bearings have gone) should I replace the REAR Shocks.

I fully retracted them both and one has not come back up at all and the other took about 30mins to come up.

Should they come up straight away?

They have been on the car for 7 years.

Shocks dont return anyway.

Way I see it, if the car isn't bouncing around like the MR SOFT advert, leave 'em.

Oil dampers don't expand themselves. Gas dampers normally do.

I would normally, but just recently I have had to pay for new clutch, gearbox input bearing, and now a Axle! It would have been cheaper to buy a new car, so now I'm skint!
And the wife want a holiday abroad!!!!!

Its a 10 minute job even when they are on the car, so I wouldn't worry at all that you have the axle off...

Replace as and when...
