Title: Front Shocks
Post by michaelelise on Aug 18^th, 2010, 4:59pm

Hi all I wonder if any of you wizards could help me. I am after a pair of new front shocks for my 98 ultima 24v. I have looked and asked around and can not seem to find a pair. I have got the rears on order.

Kind thanks

Michael

Thanks I have got my rear shocks from unipart. But still have not found the front ones yet the ebay person shows really bad feedback so not sure whether to use him or not.

Thanks again

Michael

The feedback didn't look that bad to me.

I bought the shocks & springs for my 2.3 here:

One could of course just read through the statements of the ones not satisfied, but even in those the buyers were partly to blame.

I got once twice from a german seller wrong delivery, but in the end I got everything I needed and I could keep the wrong items and sell them. In practice that meant 2 set of discs and a set of pads (quality brand) for 20€ after selling the wrong items. It's not the mistake, it's how it's handled. I would still trust and recommend the seller :)

Thanks you all for the input. Sorry I have not posted earlier as I have been working hard. I ordered the front shocks from http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/ on Tuesday at 5.50pm and they arrived Friday at 3.00pm for a total of £114.80. I would highly recommend them as they were a good price and service thanks Tompion good shout. Now to fit new shocks all round when I find the time!!!
