SM25T Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Damper bodies may have additional circlip grooves. If not, you can machine them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakman Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Is your SV a wide track, if so do the new shocks have the wide track extension part number 75555 on the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
