Some help Please
Hi all,
new to this site, and just bought a 360. Im repairing the front shocks as one was leaking, they are the refillable type.....But i can't seem to find anyone who sells the kits/seals for the shocks. Ive tried volvo and Ive been told they are discontinued, no joy either at euro car parts or gsf Any specialists who may be able to help Thanks Alan |

shocks
Not sure if this company will be able to help they may specialise in motorbike shocks but will definately know where/who can supply the parts if not it might be cheaper to ditch your old ones and go for new gas or oil ones off the shelf.

You can buy KYB gas shocks quite cheaply from ebay UK for the 360's.
I'm waiting for my shocks to die so I have a reason to buy something brand new for the beast. |

I Looked at the items from KYB and my local motor factors can't beat that price so is defiantly a option. I want to fit those adjustable 'coilover' type kits to the originals.

Depending how far you go with the coilover route, I'd suggest stock dampers will not be up to the job. ClassicSwede sells some adjustable inserts.
