pro comp shock absorbers

(1/5) > >>

roccodog:
 I fitted a 2" lift with pro comp shocks to my 300 tdi disco in jan of this year I've just been doing a couple of jobs on it today and found that the piston rods are already heavily rusted near the top mounting eye and that there is already pitting further down the rod. Is this normal for pro comp or have I ended up with a set of dodgy shock absorbers. After only 4 months use to say I'm not impressed is an understatement.

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Same on mine.  :evil: :evil:

lee celtic:
Out of sight out of mind  :lol: :lol:

I left the boots on mine fitted four / five years ago and Havent looked at them since  ;)

Hate to think what they look like but they are working fine. :D

les baty:
yep mine have gone the same and are now leaking, wont buy them again

stageonesimmo:
Yip, same here - the 'paint' (it was probably dried spit) on the bodies was more or less gone after a couple of months and the shafts were well pitted and rusty not long after that.  The back ones went in the bin recently in favour of some Terra-Firma's and the fronts will be following suit soon.......

Not impressed - but you get what you pay for my Dad always tells me...........
