Rear shock absorbers/dampers replaced
Yesterday l replaced the rear shock absorbers/dampers with a pair of second hand ones l found in the shed from my TD5 days.

Good grief what a difference. The ride was rock hard (2014 110 XS Utility) but just replacing the rear units has transformed it.
It really is night and day. And l haven't even replaced the front ones. Makes me wonder if it's still worth replacing the springs with SW ones.

Obviously if l keep the vehicle l will replace the front ones, but the rear was an easy job with parts l already had.

They are Terrafirma 4-way adjustable dampers and l've got them set to the softest of the 4 options.
