Hi,
I just purchased some new shocks for my 300Tdi to replace the old OME. I went for something cost effective, shall we say.
The lower bushes that shipped with it just don't look right, but was told they're good. Do these look okay, or do they need further tightening/compression? I've included a pic of the old next to the new too.
Thanks all.
Joshua.

had the yellow plastic ones fall apart/crumble. Went with the original style from Repco in rubber. Been good since.
I used to use Nissan GU Patrol front ones on the lower side that take rebound forces, even the stock LR ones are inadequate.
toy 80 series front shock rubbers work a treat. fitted in 2013 in a long travel suspension heavy 130, multiple simpson crossings and thousands of kms on corrugated roads. they look new. need to cut the cups off the axle mount to fit them.
Here are my Koni Heavy Tracks . Smaller than the ones that came off the tough dogs
That is good advice! I didn't think to look at an alternative vehicle fit. After being fobbed off by the supplier, I was inclined to just fit the old bushes in place of these el-crappos.
I have to admit, the ride is better with the new hardware, but the bushes do not fill me with confidence.
Joshua.
