Tim S Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Took the C7 for MoT this morning. Once up on the ramp the tester pointed out that the offside rear shock absorber is broken; the spring goes straight up to start with then bends at about 30 degrees. The top and bottom of the shock absorber is still attached so it must be broken part way up. Suggestions please for what make/model to replace both rear shocks with and where to source them. It's a 1998 2l Zetec with a live rear axle. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative manningpaul Posted September 15, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted September 15, 2019 Or try Protech Shocks, Melksham, very reasonably priced and good choice of specs. They made me a cracking pair of fronts a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I replaced my springs and dampers with Protech dampers ... but got Procomp Motorsport to supply the springs and revalve the dampers to suit a Caterham. Very pleased with the price and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
