They must be fitted as a pair, otherwise strange handling may occur.

i have to agree you, but some do fit them individually, especially if its needed for mot, personally i would fit a pair.

Yes i agree also but i thought i might get away with it adding a used unit rather than a new one but if anyone has got a pair i would be interested malcolm

Malcolm, Try ringing Bridges at Crawley,West Sussex on 01293/523684. They have two estates in there but I don't think they post parts.

thanks for the replies i think that crawley may be a bit far to go simmo unless i get really desperate.I am definately interested in the ones of your estate Stafford what area are you in, i will pay any reasonable price depending on condition just let me know what you want.Do any members know if these shockers on a 2.0 estate are the same as the 2.3 thanks malcolm

hi there

shockers should be the same. springs are different.

look at the condition of the bottom bushes. they're a MOT failure.
