Shock absorber required, not sure which one.

Hi folks, my Freda has just been for MOT and only failed on a N/S front shock absorber. The garage couldn't source a new one from suppliers because the registration number isn't recognised on systems :O So I now have to source one myself.
I've just had a look in the shop here and found one that says it fits all models,

Can anyone confirm if that is correct please?
The van is a 2000 2.5 diesel.
Thanks in advance :-)

Welcome aboard. :D

Coming from the Bongomeister himself I'd say that's the one you want. 8)

I'd seriously consider fitting a pair to keep things in trim. :wink:

As Bob has said ,better fitting as a pair to keep the balance, this is not a bad price for a Pair...

Brilliant, thanks very much for your quick replies. Good price on that link and delivered in time (hopefully) before MOT runs out :D
P.S. Thanks for the friendly welcome. I've had the Freda for a year now but I might be asking another couple of questions soon, I always feel like I'm taking liberties in forums when asking questions because I don't really have much I can give back other than appreciation :)
