My rear tyre ive just found to be shot, jacked up the car and thought wheel isnt coming off the ground as it should.  Eventually it did and it looks like the rear shock is shot  Infact im pretty sure it should not come all the way out as it has lol.

Anyways my question to you guys is,

Do I have to replace with a S/L one ?
Are the Estate and Saloon the Same ?
Would it affect the car if i replaced with non S/L ones ?

Thanks

Saloon and estate are different,you can fit standard shocks but would need the matching springs,if you go that route don't forget to disable the compressor

Thanks matey,

Unless im being blind I cant find any at all with S/L, is it a vaux only job ?

If you were closer I could've got them on TC for you avoiding postal charges ....... though they'd still work out to be quite reasonable compared to full retail price.

Not sure, & I can never remember the password to get to TC's website. I do remember that TC price is a substantial saving on retail price though.

Self Levelling (Air) rear shocks for Facelift Elite saloons are identical across the engine range in my experience.
 

[TheBoy]

Remember shocks *must* be replaced in pairs

[tomh23]

Guys someone has a set of pre facelift s/l shocks forsale, he can't get part number yet do you know if these are the same as my facelift thanks

[tunnie]

SL shocks are the same between all ages, as long as the come from same shape.

Ie, Pre-FL and FL Saloon SL shocks are the same, but they are different to Estate
