help! LP400 shock absorbers

[orangeLP400]

Having work done on my Countach LP400 and there is play in two of the four rear shock absorbers where the bottom bushes have deteriated with age..the shocks are fine with no leaks or weeping except from myself as the quote from my usual supplier is £600 plus vat x 4 for the rears...all i really want is replacement bushes which are not listed or someone who can fit the appropriate right bushes? I have not taken them out yet but i know there is a font of knowledge on this site (like Craig) and maybe someone knows where to source the shocks or equivilent at an more realistic cost. thanks stephen

Seeing as Spax do suspension kits for the Countach, might it be worth contacting them and asking if they'll supply just a set of bushes?

if i recall correctly, paulqv had somesimilar suspension work done on his 85 car.

even if this was not the case ,he is a font of countach knowledge anyway, so might be worth getting in touch with

If the bush is the same top and bottom, then it looks like you'll need a "SNODO" part 41 . . . . .as always with these things, sometimes its cheaper to take the part off, wander into your local trade motorfactors and ask the old grumpy guy in the back to match it up for you

Stephen,

Paul will have had / has had substantial amounts of work done to his QV by Carlo and crew @ TopGear and you should speak to him before (almost) anyone else I'd say!

Also, sorry I missed your call earlier today - I almost have an excuse/reason!

Hi Stephen

I don't have the answer and if Paul QV can't help then I suggest posting on Lambochat as Sackey will no doubt have an answer

Grimaldi may be able to get the bushes. He got some proper ones from somewhere for my Spax rear shocks to replace the ones made out of cheese which Spax supplied.
