Supa cheap have 25% off suspension at the moment so took the opportunity to buy some rear shocks and fit them to the TP wagon as the Monroes are getting a bit tired and starting to leak.........
Set of rear Gas Gabriels for $74 which made a huge difference to the ride and noise level as one of the rears was making noises on rough roads!! Did the front struts a few months back for $100 a pair when they were selling off some old stock!! Bargain!! Vee

Well one of the my front struts went stiff. Compressed ok but real slow rebound and very dangerous on a rough road. Went all of a sudden.
Only second time i have come across such a problem the other was on a Hyundai excel.
Now replaced front struts with Monroes and also new King Springs which give an excellent ride.Standard height.
Lifted the front a bit so old ones must have sagged a bit.
The KYB fronts only did 60k so wont use them again.
King springs have stopped the bottoming i had on some rough roads around here!!!
May put new king springs on the rear now after such a good result. Cheer vee
