Should my shocks do that ???

[lordyharmerz]

an amuaters question i hope

while i was swapping my front leafs out, the shocks were getting in the way, so in retaliation i just pushed them back up(still connected at the top), half expecting them to just push against me, but they didnt, they stayed compressed.
is that normal? when its sitting on 4 wheels the Bound/Rebound seems fine.

Also got some engines probs if u can help, will post it where it needs to go.

thanks for looking

They sound nackered to me! Give Dave at llama4x4 a call, hes a realy helpfull guy. He is the british importer of rough country shocks, they are £40 each, or try neil at rhino-force he brakes suzukis, so may have a good set of front shocks

Thanks lads, money is key to my project, so vaux bellmont shocks sound good,
Are they any longer than the standards?

[bourneyo]

I thought that the vaux shocks were longer, i have astra ones on mine which are a fair bit longer. Take the old 1 down to your motorfactors, if there nice guys they may let you open a few different ones till you get a close match.
