Title: rear shockers
Post by kittman on Feb 27^th, 2007, 10:56pm

Can anyone tell me where I can get a pair of rear shock absorbers for my cossie estate. I have spoken to the guy who ,s advert is on the front page and he has put me on to ford parts uk .com. Do you know how much they cost? I would prefer new one,s.

From what I have heard ford parts uk would be as good as anyone for standard shockers.

If it's an estate, then you may need self levelling shocks...

Not sure how much they are, but I know there not particularly cheap :)

Try http://www.carparts-direct.co.uk/catalogues/car_parts.cfm

I just got mine from there - you get a choice of different qualities.

They dont list the Estate shocks for the Scorpio there Mike, only for the Granada.

As far as I know these shocks are a Ford only part so Fordpartsuk is your cheapest option for new ones.

Thanks guys, ford parts uk have quoted me £175.89 each. I nearly fell of my chair so I might have to rethink and source some second hand ones
