self leveling shocks
« on: 11 February 2016, 07:12:02 »
Are going to be replaced with standard shocks. So question is which fuse or relay do i need to pull out ( providing they dont operate other functions) or what else do i need to do to disconect the leveling pump.. also one last thing. Am i better using GM shocks to replace them or other makes?

Can't remember off hand, it's on here somewhere though.

Without stating the obvious, don't forget to change the springs too ;)

(In no order) choice of GM, then Sachs - I think Sachs made the original GM ones - Bilstein, in B4(OEM replacement), B6 and B8 flavours, Boge and then a few no-names.

There's not a lot to tell them apart, Bilstein are considered 'the ones' to get by most (including myself) these do ride a little firmer than standard.  :)

Sachs or genuine Irmscher if lowering... Both available, Sachs here and Irmscher on Ebay.de... Both sensibly priced ;)

Pull one of the small black relays in the top of the cabin fuse box. If you have pulled the wrong one the main beam wont work!
