New to Bongo Fury
I have just had full rear suspension changed and one of the shockers is knocking all the time was told it is the hanger where the top of the shocker hangs on and it needs replacing can you buy this part or am I going to have to get one made.

Re: rear suspension
You can get new ones, but they are very expensive and have to come from Japan. For second hand, try George at www.bongospares.co.uk

Re: rear suspension
Can you put up an image of the part you need?
Re: rear suspension
I will try and get a picture image of part I need as soon as I can get into a garage and get it up on the ramps
Re: rear suspension
I have found out you can not buy rear shocker brackets you have to buy full number 5 rear cross member which has rear shocker hanging brackets welded to it.

Re: rear suspension
A decent non franchise bodyshop would be able to make up something.
I have restored many cars in the past and nothing is impossible when it comes to body repair its a question of economics usually.
Look for a smaller repairer who does restorations.
