Hi All
I have to replace my shock absorbers on my Perentie I looked up my RPS
and the part numbers are listed as BYG 4001 for the front and BYG 4000 for the rear, I cant find any reference if these are a standard defender part. Can you use standard defender shockies or do the need to be longer travel.
Cheers
Rod

You could always get standard shocks for a 1980s 110. Same thing really.
But I reckon they'd be standard length as a later Defender, shock mounts haven't changed position.

I think you'll find the front shocks are longer than a V8 County or Defender as the Isuzu models have the extended bump stops. I went through this a while ago when getting new shocks and from memory I think the fronts on my Isuzu county were 575mm long extended, and most aftermarket ones were only about 560mm. This should be the same for the Perentie.
