I went offroading the other day and I think one of the shocks went, the usual symptoms appeared, severe rocking in crosswinds, loud banging and rattling suspension etc. I have no idea which one it could be but I think I may as well replace them all.

Can anyone in Australia recommend reasonably priced and good quality shocks? Also, are they a pain to install yourself?

P.S. My landy hasn't been lifted.
 
Hi Alex,

If there are no signs of leaking fluids from the shocks it may be the bushes that have given up. A simple test for the shocks is the push down on each corner and release and if the corner bounces more than twice then it's probably the shock and if it clangs/bangs then it's probably the bushes. As your 60 is not lifted are your shocks OEM?

Obviously, not being in Oz, I can't help dealers, etc.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Rodger
 
Sounds more like a bush to me, similar symptoms to when I lost a top bolt off a front shocks in the Sahara and the bush went awol after it, had to make a replacement out of an inner tube!
 
One of the bushes went so thats been replaced and is all good! Thanks for the advice guys
