I've bought a KJ Verada EI wagon, mainly to cart the dog around in (and in some style & comfort!).

He's happy & so am I apart from finding the ride slightly floaty. I don't experience this in my TS sedan which has done slightly more kms (149k as against 141k - but the wagon has done some towing).

Checking the Monroe GT part no list I noticed that for wagons (but not sedans) the rear shocks for TL/KL have a different no than for TE/KE to TJ/KJ.

Can anyone tell me how they differ & whether Mitsubishi also fitted different dampers (and/or springs) to the later wagons. I expect that they would be interchangeable.

There was no listing by Monroe of a different shock for the Verada VR wagon. I'm guessing that even if Mitsubishi fitted a firmer shock, the standard GT would be at least as firm.
