Wanted.... Front left shock

Post by wildeboy »

Does anyone have a front left shock absorber (passenger side)?

Mine has a leak and it is nearly MOT time. :(

I had planned to buy new shocks and springs all round but I can't justify paying the money at the moment, especially for a car which has only done 1000 miles in 6 months!

They call it a spring strut on RealOEM part number 31316753257. It is for a 1997 2.8 but it is the same on most zeds except the 1.8, 1.9 and sports suspension and M models.

Thanks.

I have still got the struts and springs off my old 2.8 which you can gladly have. There is a little surface rust on them but certainly not leaking, one strut is complete and the other has the top bearing missing hence spring and strut seperate. You can come and pick them them up by all means as I am not a million miles away from you so give me a PM and we will sort something out. :D

Change both, changing 1 is not recommended as the car may behave in a more unpredictable way.

Thanks Aceman,

PM received and replied!

Stu,

I was hoping to 'get away' with replacing just the one if I got a second hand one, but if I can get a pair then I would better changing them both.
