New rear shocks noise
« on: 21 December 2009, 11:30 »
I've had both rear shocks replaced with new standard ones...

Am i right to expect these to make some setting in noises..creaks etc?

Would guess so unless the rear top mounts are knackered.

when i fitted new shocks i was told by a friend in the trade.
to make sure you tight the bolt when the wheels are on the floor
then tight the bottom bolts up (near the brakes)  :undecided:
