Front shock absorbers??

Post by TonyW » Fri Nov 30, 2018 10:47 am

Hi all.

Going round in circles trying to make sure I order the correct pair of front shocks for our bongo.

It's a 1996 2.5l petrol auto.

Any recommendations?

Thanks all.

Tony.

Hi Folks,

For some reason, the Ranger forum seems to have broken down? Hopefully one or two of you guru's can answer my Q'.
I have a B2500, i very rarely carry heavy materials about (car junk mainly or rubbish) it's not a work vehicle, but comes in handy! Anyway!
i have fitted some shocks (some time ago) and unladen, the truck is so hard, front and back! very uncomfortable, if you try to talk at the wrong time on the wrong surface.... you sound very similar to a Dalek! But! when loaded, and down on it's haunches, it runs beautifully, no continued vibrations after going over a speed bump, or a misjudged pothole!
So! what i really need is a middle of the road shock both front and rear, one that actually absorbs what it should, instead of starting a fight with the road surface and it only being myself and passenger that loses out! Your thoughts?
