Front shock absorber wanted

[ajp70]

Before I run off and buy a pair of new front shocks, does anyone have an old (not leaking) Koni front damper which they would part with for a bit of cash.

This is my before and after of the rear shock which I've done compared to one of the fronts which I found was leaking when I was cleaning it up:

Unless you are rebuilding the internals of both I would not mix, keep or replace as a pair. Granted one of yours is leaking but...

Sorry just my 2 p

Any use to you ?

Hi Mike, did you get my e-mail I'm still after your old avo left overs if you still have them!

I'd say keep as a set, not just in pairs, unless you know all the dampers are newish and you're replacing with the identical spec. Damping characteristics change with time and the last thing you want is variations front/rear or side to side.

Big, big thanks to everyone who replied. Once again it proves what a great community the TVR owners are.

I know the sensible thing is to have a pair as you would with tyres so that's what I'll do.

Thanks again, and hopefully as I restore another S to where it should be ie. on the road, I'll learn a few things to help others.

Cheers, Anthony.
