Rear shocks

[madcowmc]

We have a Gen II WH statesman needing new rear shocks - any suggestions?????

[Lumps of cheese]

Well buy some and put them in, that would be my suggestion

Seriously if you're talking brands, munroe or pedders for me.

I stuck just standard monroe's into the rear of the VR and feels like a new car, the old pair were completly farked lol was like driving a boat. now it goes in the direction you point it lol. Very happy with them

Monroe GT gas, I just put these in and they seem good.

KYB or Boge. In KYB they're about $59-$65 per shock as a standard, or about $70 from memory if you want the 50mm lowered ones.

KYB's are undoubtedly the best performance/quality for your buck. The equivalent in the Monroe range is the GT Sport, with the GT Gas just being their cheap (in both sense of the word) shock.

righto ,, what we have is a 2000 wh with self leveling,[completely differing shocks] which by the way auto stores talk takes a whole heap of choices away as far as replacement go, apart from genuine.

has any one had success with finding non genuine?


as a bundy boy, Silverfox our local holden dealer has a bit to be desired


kinda picked the wrong time of year to start losing air

By "Bundy" do you mean Bundaberg or Bundoora?

[VYMAD]

because yes i would not take my wheel barrow to Ross Gray!!!!!!!!!!!

[madcowmc]

you got it right second guess,, we're yet to get a profile up

as for "that mob" not unless absolute emergency

[DanVN]

You can still replace them with standard shocks, you just lose the auto-leveller, If you dont do towing or heavy loading in the rear you wont even notice.

Auto leveller = pump up shocks

[H1GHROLLR]

koni adjustables i just put them im my clubby and its drives a ton better it also sits down and stays down and never axle tramps now 110% for koni yellow or red

[WAGON MAN]

+ 1 "Koni's"

[madcowmc]

I'll give em a call, never knock any idea back at the start, am also talking to Bursons' in Caboolture,we'll see what they have to say too,
will post back with a part no when jobs done

[madcowmc]

have done the hunting round over the past few days and have HAD to buy a set,,,they actually split but thats another post

part # to suit self levelling series is Genuine GM-----92087182-----$190 a piece


Monroe part ---MGR 118-------$200 a piece

exactly the same shock,,just ask for Monroe Gas Riser

Monroe part available thru REPCO [here in QLD],,, maybe more but this is where I found them

for once the big boys aren't ripping us off

I ordered one today for my wh statesman. $140 each. from Kempsey Holden. Repco rang Monroe and they said genuine only. But if you're paying $190 I'm happy, perhaps you need to question your dealer about the price.

How about NZ$550 EACH for air shocks for my Addy. Thats what 3 dealers have quoted me. I know the NZ peso is not doing that great but it hasn't got that low. Monroe Gas Risers maybe a cheaper option at NZ$406 for a pair ex Repco but Monroes can't tell me which one would suit and I have gut feeling they don't do it for the Addy aftermarket even though they are the OEM. The number stamped on my stuffed shocks is 92112618 but suspect that doesn't mean a lot.
