Thread: Exploder flat...

Don't know what the PO was hoping, it didn't work... putting a rear Air adjustable - rate ? - shocks from a different model or car into an older/cheaper Ford Exploder to get around the minor detail of knackered leaf springs...

Car was presented to me by son #1 due to my success with the Rangie Air suspension.

Took the sensible way out, advised to put back to 'standard' and have springs re-set, as the bodgy shockies were leaking down... To make it worse, they were 'T'eed into one filler-valve... From my mis-spent youth, this arrangement is anything but sensible, especially as the piping is 5mm ID, not the tiny 0.7mm capilliary stuff Monroe/Wylie supplied with their 'Pump-Up' shocks.


Alas, silken purse from sow's ear....and all that. Pics say it all...

Sadness is... when I oozed underneath to take those pics, there was nothing in the rear or back seats.

Yep, I'd agree, Poor Man's Lowering kit. - Now maybe a HUGE bull-bar, winch and extra batteries, - to balance the front end.
