16" shocks, throw or keep?

Post by **lloydy** » 13 Jun 2011, 14:54

just changed my rear shocks (original 16") is there any reason to keep them? they look like this

can they be rebuilt? refurbed? or just thrown away?

If they're not konis, then they're for the metal skip. I say koni as yours are painted red but some models from other proper brand dampers can be refurbed too.

If they still damp as they should then keep them for a rainy day, my old ones were ok when I replaced them just put them on a shelf in the garage until some one needed them.

they work, but a bit "bouncy" if you know what i mean. No harm stashing them in the garage i suppose.

16" dampers are green not red, those are just 14" items.
Bin fodder.

Bin then, thanks for that.
Any way of telling if the fronts are 16"?

Same, if they are green they are 16.

We can get 16" ones, but I think they are just shy of a grand a set.

Post by **lloydy** » 13 Jun 2011, 20:24

yep, i remember asking you a while back

, hence the fitting of your 14" rears

Why do you still have a cat on your van?

Post by **lloydy** » 13 Jun 2011, 20:36

why, is it a problem? Have noticed other peoples seem to have vanished.
Never given it much thought really.
