2014 2.2 tdci 90 Shockers

Does anyone know the manufacturer that supplied LR for shockers.

I need to replace mine and would like something along the original si=upplier.

Alternatively a half descent replacement eg Girling??????

Hi, I'm selling my original shocks. They are in perfect condition having covered less than 10,000 miles.

To be honest: I had worn Koni shocks on the rear axle and replaced them with extremely cheap RIDEX (854S028), which were really ridiculously cheap. (Airfilter is twice as much!)

I've been driving them for ~40,000km now without any problems, top driving performance, no difference to genuine. I don't want to recommend this but contribute as an experience.

OEM LR shocks are from Monroe.

But do yourself a favour and put on a set of Bilsteins

Nerd alert!

They are dampers. It is the springs that absorb the shocks and the dampers dampen the oscillations.

Does anyone know where I can get bushes for bilstein rear shocks? I’m finding bilstein hard to get hold of.

Put OEM bushes on, the bilstein ones aren’t great. I had swapped all my bilstein ones for genuine ones.

Thanks. I thought I’d read that they were different sizes
