Shock absorbers
I've been looking for a new suspension set up for my 850t5 estate for a short while now....and have come up with nothing really!!
Europarts dont list Bilstein rear shocks for a T5, which I find hard to believe, as they list a boge shock for all models!! Can anyone advise on complete packages are available, or the part no's required if I buy seperate shocks and springs. I would also like to know, if you fit standard shocks, do the springs come away from their seats if you jack the car? Thanx in anticipation for any replies.... Nigel |

RE: Shock absorbers
Hi Nigel,
For starters you can get bilstens for the backs from variety of performace stors and they are not that expensive a few quid more than the 'boge'/oems. As for jacking up the car is concerned i had a nightmare trying to get my shocks off the sealant had glued them in solid! On the rears there is a nut that keeps the spring in place this will need undoing and the spring will pop out and the bump stop can be removed also. For the fronts a spring-compressor is needed before you drop out the strut. hope this helps, mark.
