Hi guys I have 2 leaking front shocks does anyone know if this is something that can only be purchased direct through noble dealers or can they be matched up and bought through a motor factors.If anyone knows a part number for them that would be great.

Cheers Chris

Hi Chris

Depending on where you live try Jetstream they do upgraded shocks/springs all round for a very reasonable price .They also may have some decent second hand originals, they have certainly had mine when I changed over .

You wont get parts at a motor factors, but there are a number of companies that make suitable replacements. I would recommend replacing all 4 as a set or else the balance will be all over the place.

I went with GAZ Mono shocks (top of range) but only 2-way adjustable which makes em easy to set up. I would highly recommend them for reliability and ease of use.
Probably worth buying new springs too.

I sourced mine from Jetstream, worth calling them for options

http://www.blackartdesigns.com/ will refurbish what you have if you don't want to go the whole hog of replacing all four corners. They come highly recommended across many platforms.

you can return to Bilstein for a refurbish for the same money as BAD. I'd take that route..

Thanks for all your comments in the end I went the gaz set up from Jetstream.Really well priced for what you get and the ride and handling from the car has transformed from what it felt like before.I am having a guess that if I was to have had them all refurbed the cost wouldn't have been a million miles away from what the brand new gaz kit cost.
