Rear shock

[Neil1985]

The list goes on :embarasse

Noticed a little oil leak on the ground(where I park) when I came home earlier. Thought I'd have a look around the car and what do you know........ It's coming from the offside rear shock.

So I now need to find a replacement quick. Was thinking of doing the fronts too as I'm having the springs changed again on Saturday.


Was looking at these

People's thoughts or any other sites I could buy from? Also what else would I need?

Thanks

I could do you a full set of standard front and rear shocks complete with springs, all built up and ready to fit for £150.
Been sat gathering dust on a shelf in my workshop for ages after I swaped to coilovers. I believe they are what came with the car from the factory and were in good condition before I removed them.

Cheers chris. But I want to keep her low. Just I'm to tight to spend out on coil overs. Basically the mrs won't let me!!!!!

Yes Galant/Legnum, estate/saloon share the same shock absorbers, just different springs.

Standard shocks will fail much quicker on lowered more than iirc 30mm springs.

there's fronts for standard springs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350780039521?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Cool. Cheers mate. I'm going to put my HKS lowering springs back on so I'd be better with the bilstein wouldn't I. Just a price difference.
