Thread: new shocks for the defender? what ones......

With the $A so strong against the $US, for about $150 - $200 more, you can get a set of Bilsteins from America - about half the price they are in Australia.

im looking into that right now!!! thanks

I have just had a set of Bilsteins delivered from eshocks. Cost was $520AUD delivered to my door.

Hi,
Has anyone had their shocks rebuilt?
I had one of my motorcycles rear shocks rebuilt for half the price of an aftermarket shock and the result was great. I assume the shocks in a def get much more punishment than they would on a bike.
Cheers and happy Xmas

i have placed an order from the good old usa.... hope they wont take to long as on of the shockies on the back has just lost the rubber off of the bottom mounting and is making the worst noise!! hope it lasts!

Mr James - may I suggest you find some old rubber bits to replace what's lost or don't drive the defer until your new shocks arrive. If the mounting hole goes oval it will be a problem to make the new rubbers fit properly.

For those that are buying from the USA, can you post up what brands, models and how much your getting them for. Also what vehicle you are putting them on and the vendor you bought from. It may help others.

cheers,
Serg

Ditto what Serg said ...

SImon.
