Disco Shocks recommendation

(1/2) > >>

Lee_D:
Ok my Disco is a tug, used to maul our Caravan around. It doesn't do off road due to having LPG tanks on the chassis rails.

I've got to replace both rear shocks.

I'm not impressed with the previous back end lean on mini roundabouts, this could be down to worn shocks anyway but what do peeps recommend. I don't mind spending if it's worth it but not if it's and overkill/fashion lable.

Sharpshooter:
I have DECARBON on my Disco 1. And they are the nuts. :)

gords:
I have ProComp es9000 all round and have been very happy with their performance. Possibly a bit hard on the road but great most of the time. Less than £40 each too :)

Wouldn't it be soggy springs that cause the lean on roundabouts? :?

YES!  :wink:

Worn springs will leave the back end saggy, and make it lean, the other alternative would be the rear anti roll bar could be a bt warn, possibly the rubber bushes (try changing to polly bushes).

But if you do change the shocks, then ProComp have served me well too, and they get some serious abuse!

Lee, if you remember the day you brought your 101 laning in Derbyshire, I retired early with a broken shock, that was a ProComp, and it was replaced with no hassle on the warranty, I would definately buy them again.

Yep, mine failed it's MOT due (partly :wink: ) to a leaking shock. I called up Explorer ProComp and they will be sending out a replacement - no quibble :D  I think you have to buy direct (which is easy) to get such fast/easy replacement.
