Fitting ES9000 Shocks

(1/3) > >>

Disco Bristol:
Hi, I am getting Procom’s ES9000 for my Disco 97. Are they simple to fit? My question really is, is there any tuning required, or is it a case of bolt on bolt off?

 I think I read somewhere that shocks should be fitted by a reputable workshop as back street workshops will not be able to set up the suspension properly.

Are they maybe referring to more sophisticated shocks that have tuning capabilities

Budgie:
The only thing you need to do with the ES9000's is prime them. It's just a case of pushing the shock from fully extended to fully compressed a couple of times to ease everything up and make sure there are no bubbles in the tube that have formed when stored. Then just bolt them on.  :D

When doing the front I would get a new pair of turret retainer rings as the studs on these normally snap off. You have to remove the spring to fit the new ones.  :wink:

There's no need to prime them, they're gas shocks. You only need to prime oil filled shockers.  :wink:

You dont have to take the turrets off.
Just unbolt the shock top & bottom, remove the spring and pull the shock out.
