Title: Self levelling rear shocks.
Post by: Harvin on 11 June 2009, 09:56:45

Hi need a bit of advice please, on self levelling rear shocks for my 3.2.
Both leaking badly and require replacing.
Has any one got any information on what replacement shocks to use please?
Name & part numbers or any other info would be great thanks.

Regards

Harvin

Took the car down to my local garage this morning, they put it on the ramp and you could see that both shocks were leaking badly.
This would probably be the reason why I had to have two new coil springs last month to pass the MOT as the shocks were on there way out.

The lass at the garage there found some at £50 each. I told her that these seemed a bit too cheap for this type of shock.
They are going to look for other suppliers & get back to me later.

So if any body has any info on what type to use or best practice I will pass this on to the garage so as they can order them up and do the job.
Thanks.  :)

I'm sure that if you want to retain self levelling then you're talking OE from Vauxhall.

youll need a trade club card to get those prices see link bottom of my post if you need it.

retail is about £300 the pair, trade club brings it down to £150 ish, still steep but better. or fit normal gm shocks and pull the fuse on the self leveliing pump.... or unplug the pump itself i guess...?

I'm sure some self levelling bilsteins have been found hiding in the catalogue!
