Rear suspension fix or upgrade
Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2017 12:10 pm
Morning all,
Just a few questions with regards to the rear suspension. I saw that the rear end of the bakkie 'hangs' a bit. I know I need to replace the load box rubbers (no1), then I want to re-tension the rear blades.
- Where (besides Agents) can I buy load box rubbers and how do distinguish between import and local box? (price of rubbers if possible)
- What do you guys recommend, Poly bushes or rubber bushes with greaseable shackles?
- Standard shackles or extended shackles (40mm).
- When I do extend the shackles, which shocks to I fit?
The current prices I got are as follows (are they reasonable):
Tension: R 350 per pack
Extended Shackles (40mm): R 340 each
Rubber bushes: R 15 each
Single metal casing bush: R 45 each
Thanks for the help
