Title: Rear shocker bushes
Post by kittman on Aug 12^th, 2007, 9:24am

Anyone changed rear shock absorber bushes on a 95 cossie estate, is it a difficult job?

hi there

afaik, you can't get just the bush (i take it you're talking about the bottom round bush of the shock).

i looked into this a year or two ago with a view to using a bush from a transit. this turns out to be a different size. i've not tried a sierra one, though.

the sierra oil (not s/l) looks similar, but you would need to check all the sizes.... l/h/d, top screw length, bottom mounting, etc. if you got these sizes, i'd check them against my spare ones.

Are all estate models fitted with self levelling suspension or just the cossie?
