SubscriberHi all I have developed a clunk in the rear end of my disco2 this happened when I drove through an open culvert as I went to pull back on the road it sounded like I bottomed out or hit something:mad. The clunk is now when I drive up drive ways or corner sharp my left rear shock absorber is leaking so I'm hoping a new set of shocks will fix it I'm thinking about terra firma shocks as I have Dobson HD springs. I converted from air springs when they let me down in the middle of nowhere in NSW. I'm thinking along the line of +2inch as the HD springs have picked the arss up a bit any help or suggestions would be much appreciated the car has about 308000ks never had shocks replaced . Seems pedders are not much good anyone used tough dog shocks if shocks don't fix this problem then I will have to rebuild the watts linkage that could be a pita as I don't have a press.

Car previously had 2" lift, unsure of brand but the the springs were a little worn after time hence going with HD replacements (prepping for the weight of the some custom bar work too).
Was initially after a set of old man emus and was quoted around 1800 installed but swayed away after not seeing much of a difference between the two.

Hi Disco Muppet,
Interested in what feedback you've got for the TF's
Recently put a set on, wondering if I should be keeping an eye out for anything in particular?

Leaking oil seems to be the big one. Also suffering from excessive fade over rough ground, and I've seen a few snap.
More people I know who've run them dislike them than the other way around, but some people have no issues with them.

SubscriberAre pedders trak ryder foam cell any good.

Personally I would avoid any foam cell for a touring 4WD, no matter how big they are. Once they've run hot they're history. For a run of the mill shock I'd just stick with a regular twin shell nitrogen shock which will cost similar, return to normal operation after being overheated and as a touring shock give you better service life. I agree with Muppet in that the OME is a good shock if you want a regular design shock or Bilstein for a premium design shock.
Cheers

SubscriberThe rubber bush on the LHS rear shock fell apart on a Pedders Red. I replaced both rears with the standard LR D2 shock. Gives a better ride than the Pedder's.
