Are the standard shocks on a Cerbera height adjustable ? confused

Mine are - but one is weeping a little so I am looking for a replacement - but before I take the corner apart, I want the replacement in my hand if possible, so am I looking for a standard item, or has the car I purchased already had upgraded units fitted ??

Can I have answers without being dissed or mocked please - this is still a new toy I am learning about tumbleweed

Not to worry about asking dumb questions- we'll only laugh at you behind your back!

Standard shocks are NOT height adjustable, so whatever you've got, its not standard.

And you should replace in pairs anyway, shouldn't you?

Replace in pairs - yes, I realised someone would say that after I posted loser

And if mine are not standard - then I will strip off and then source - thanks for your help brogenville ...

Are you sure they are not height adjustable. I have no record in the service history of mine ever being changed and they are height adjustable, it's a 2000 4.5lw. The previous owner has been pretty anal about documentation, right down to new bulbs.

Mine ARE height adjustable ... and so from what I understand NOT standard. I have also been told that GAZ shocks can be serviced (Top Cats) so my plan now is to strip both fronts off and send them away for servicing ... I just hope it rains the whole time the cerb is in pieces !! hehe
