Hey all, Just bought myself a second magna. A '94 TR SE for $2000.

Been told the only thing that needs to be done to get RWC is the rear dampers. Is this just another name for shock absorbers? or is it another part of the suspension? Just want to know whether I should take advantage of the KYB special or whether I would be wasting my money :)

Cheers.

Yep

Take it to the mechanic for RWC, then fix what he finds.

Dont fix stuff now, the mehcanic might not even pick up on most of it.

Thanks for the quick reply :)

Yeah, I'll wait to see what they pick up when I go for the RWC.

If the dampers are really shot & leaking oil etc etc... give them & the
underbody a good CLEAN before sending it for RWC checking. :badgrin:

Had one bugger write "underside has been well cleaned" on my
RWC cert once - buts its still a Pass!! :cool:
