Hi chaps,

just got 2 x rear shock fitting kits, was told by vx that they are the only place you can get them.

Was just wondering if the vx part no is in the help section for these or weather it would be helpfull to add 

[chrisgixer]

Yep. Stick a post in test zone and Jimbob can move it.

I take it...Its saturday night in your world and your pissed up.

What's in the rear shock fitting kit? I've always re-used the bottom bolts and rubber spacers and metal cups?.

[05omegav6]

The lower rubber that sits between the washer on the shock rod and the body contains a plastic collar (integral to the moulding) which wears, causing clonks and knocks. Also it is not uncommon for the top mount lower washer and metal bush to corrode onto the shock rod, making them unusable. I have also had a couple of top nuts shear off rather than undo.

The kit contains:

1 x lower bolt
1 x lower bolt washer/cup
2 x upper washers
1 x top mount lower rubber
1 x top mount upper rubber
1 x metal bush insert
1 x lock nut

The kits are essentially the same saloon/estate but the metal insert bush is a different lenght iirc. Certainly the estate kit is a different part number. Estate kit is apparently no longer available but the components are all available from GM.

Aftermarket options are limited to the upper rubber bush.

Yes see what you mean. I thought op was offering the numbers for future reference. Bollards, never mind. Ignore me. Carry on nothing to see here.

Interesting...

[steve6367]

Is there a front shock fitting kit? (I'm building up to all 4!)

[Nick W]

The top mount and bearing do that job.

About £27  a side for Lemforder parts.

[chrisgixer]

Yep, as Nick says.... there are other parts, like the gaitor and bump stop etc, but they never need replacing ordinarily.

[steve6367]

Thank you
