Ooops... anyone know where I can locally purchase rear shocks?
Ooops... anyone know where I can locally purchase rear shocks?
While test driving Fiona last weekend, I noticed a crazy amount of wheel chatter and body roll coming from the rear, especially when tight cornering. Seems as if, in my frenzy to get the rear suspension Hi-Los set up, I neglected to purchase a new set of rebound dampers (shocks).
Derp.
Seven sells a fairly inexpensive set of Boge units (http://www.7ent.com/products/shock-a...-gsa71116.html), but has anyone ever purchased a set like these at a local store like Autozone? I'm trying to find specs on the Boge units but am not having any luck, and the top mount looks non-standard.
Thanks in advance as always!

local buy ... AutoZone
GOOD LUCK
years ago, when I went in for a battery they tried to pull up a 79 Mini in their computer .... that was funny! Unless you know a somewhat more popular car, legally available at the time would help - you'll need an equivalent part number for reference IME. For a battery I knew the 'group size' I wanted so we just entered 69 Camaro and that how I exist in AZ World!
but I digress
MiniMania has 'em marked down to $30.50 for 'stock'
and $33.50 for KYB
shipping $13 and up depending on speed (Priority mail gets to you by Saturday if you order NOW)
but
having invested in HiLo's do you really want to put in bare bones dampers? You WANT some adjustables don't you? Admit it . . .
