I am trying to source a roll damper for my TP auto wagon.
The rego check mechanic tells me that it needs replacing for rego and I have tried to get one from a Mitsubishi dealer and I was told that they are on longer in the spare parts system.
Buying one from a wrecker could be dubious as to its condition. How would I test it ??????

Thanks in adv for any replies

the v6 TR/TS rear shock absorber is the same part

located on the rear of a v6 engine underneath
the 4 cyl one is on the front

i think i will have a good one laying around (at least it was 12 months ago when it came out of the car...). you can have it for what ever packing and postage costs.

i would imagine that they should be able to be compressed slowly and smoothly but not compressed fast, much the same as with a suspension shock. the workshop manual lists no testing procedure either. ill tell you tomorrow if i can find a decent one in the shed (i think there are 3 in total, including one from a v6).

whay are they need when the manuals dont have one, and that is more vilent jerking

Hi old magna sorry for the delay in getting back to you
If you can find 1 of the roll dampers I would be very happy to send you costs.
The 1 I have just removed from my car can be compressed and extended at a semi fast rate , much quicker than a norm shocky
I dont know how to P/M on this forum
