graeme_stuart Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 hi guys can anyone suggest anywhere i can get new shocks for the back end of my car. one of them is faulty and it has just ran out of its warranty. had a knocking from nearside rear behind back seat .it has been getting louder since the begining of the year. had new top mounts fitted but that did not do anything, even though one was half knackered,same side as knocking noise. so i am taking it that the shocker is now knackered.aparently there was somekind of fault with them on this model. i have been on to mr b.c in ramsey. and got a quote of £220 each plus vat. does this sound right? grateful for any advice. cheers all.
Dave K Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 That may be right as you have the Sti. Try BuyPartsBy £108.26 + vat for a pair. You will have to check though as these dont say if they fit the Sti.
graeme_stuart Posted September 27, 2005 Author Posted September 27, 2005 cheers dave will have a look.
heazille Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 << and it has just ran out of its warranty >> How far out of warranty? As it's a known fault, can you not push for 'a goodwill gesture' Ta Ta Richard
graeme_stuart Posted September 27, 2005 Author Posted September 27, 2005 Its about 1 month out of warranty Richard. Got it booked it in to Barry C on saturday morning ,to see if the problem is a faulty shocker. If this is the case, i will give it a try on the goodwill gesture. Cheers m8
