Hi all, on the look out for a standard rear shock for my 4.2. Had a great morning cleaning the car a few weeks back and an even better afternoon driving it up until my suspension collapsed on the way home eek Anyway, the good news is that i now have the perfect excuse to upgrade to Nitrons all round but could do with another pay day first before ordering and will then most likely need to wait a few weeks for them. The only damage caused was the passenger side rear shock and a broken anti-roll link. Rather than having the car sitting on axle stands or paying out for a new shock only to replace it again when the new set arrive i wondered if it's something someone might have left over from upgrading themselves? I'm in West Sussex area if anyone has something at a reasonable price?

I have a set of Avos coming off in the next week or two.

They're pretty tired, but you're welcome to them if you want them.

Thanks for the kind offer PSK, I'll be in touch if nothing comes up sooner/nearer. What are you changing too?

Changing to Nitrons. They've been sat on the shelf in the garage for weeks waiting for me to get my arse in gear. You would give me a good incentive to be honest!

I know! I can't wait to get a day to fit them. Work & family commitments have had to come first lately.

Going to have to make time from somewhere!

Thanks Gray, if you have one kicking about unwanted that would be great, i'm hoping for it just to be a temporary fix. Where abouts are you, i wouldnt want you to go to any trouble digging them out if your too far away?

Im in South Yorkshire, but I can put one in the post for you in return for a few beer tokens.

Heres a pic of the shocks ive got, unfortunately the far left shock is leaking oil, but the other 3 are ok.
