im looking for the open and closed length of std front and rear shocks
also with regard to springs i need the free length of front and rears at -40mm and also wire diameter
mm

I could do with the standard length for front and back is anyone has them?

seems we are both meeting utter silence

If you hang on, I'm about to replace mine so can give you dimensions on Saturday if thats any use? Just the back ones mind, but its a start. Will measure new and old for you.

saturday will be fine.
would have thought there would be a reference list some place with std lengths etc

Any joy?

2 shakes, looking for tape measure.

Back ones, centre of pin to centre of pin (ie fully shut):
33.5cm
Extended (ie complete max stretch):
53cm

You might see a 1/2 cm -1 cm difference between makes but that would seem to be the stock lengths for rear shocks.

thanks for that , dont fancy whipping your fronts off dom you

To be honest, I was going to do the fronts but Mercdoctor doesn't have a spring compressor anymore so that job will have to wait. Don't fancy using a crowbar and ducking!
